Floyd Mayweather Jnr has stepped up his campaign to convince Manny Pacquiao to meet him in the ring on May 5.
The five-division world champion first called out his Filipino rival via Twitter earlier this week but Pacquiao’s camp said they would prefer to wait until a 45,000 seat boxing stadium is completed in Las Vegas.
That would push the fight back until the end of May but Mayweather has been relentless in his pursuit of the WBO welterweight champion.
‘I don’t want to fight anybody but him [Pacquiao],’ he told Fight Hype. ‘I don’t want to fight [Miguel] Cotto, not Canelo [Saul Alvarez] and I ain’t looking to fight [Juan Manuel] Marquez a second time.
‘I’m not trying to fight [Robert] Guerrero. I fought a southpaw, I fought [Victor] Ortiz. Ortiz was a tune up preparing me for Pacquiao because I thought that fight was going to happen and it’s the fight I want to give the world.
‘I’m looking to fight Manny Pacquiao, why is he duckin’ and dodgin’ me?
‘I mean, you say you’re a clean athlete, I’m a clean athlete. Let’s take the tests and let’s fight.’
