Gracious super star fighter, Floyd Money Mayweather hosted a media work out on Tuesday afternoon at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas in anticipation of his May 5th super welterweight showdown with Puerto Rican champion, Miguel Cotto. HBO PPV will televise the event live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Tickets are still available and could be purchased through MGM Grand Box Office or Ticketmaster.com.
?I want to continue to go out there and dominate, ?said thirty five year old Floyd, surrounded by reporters. But regardless of whom Floyd Mayweather is fighting next, media and fans want to know about Manny Pacquiao fight.
?I don’t know what Pacquiao’s next fight,? replied Mayweather (42-0, 26 KO?S):? But he had a chance to step up to the plate this time on May 5th and I got turned down. All I ask is for him to take random blood and urine test, the guy said he didn’t want to do it,so that’s why the Pacquiao fight hasn’t happened. Like I said before there are so many different excuses; then it?s like I want 50/50. All I ask if you are doing the same type of numbers I am doing on pay per view or you breaking numbers at the gate or you’re doing record breaking numbers it?s logic to say he’d get 50/50, but if he is not doing the numbers that I am doing or doing record breaking numbers there is no way possible that can happen.?
Still, super star from Philippines, Manny Pacquiao represents the biggest challenge and the most lucrative pay day for Money Mayweather; at least fifty million dollars and may be a rematch to follow. Floyd was asked about that.
?I don’t think you’ve been doing your homework on Floyd Mayweather,? replied Mayweather: “The numbers I’ve been doing. As far as lucrative numbers I’ve been doing, Floyd Mayweathe rcan go out there each time and make 50 million without Manny Pacquiao, so you guys have to do your homework on Floyd Mayweather and know the type of numbers that I do.?
Most fans and pundits lost hope of super fight between Manny Pacman Pacquiao and Floyd Money Mayweather ever taking place. Thirty three year old congressman Pacquiao has been hinting retirement and Floyd is not a spring chicken either. Mayweather was asked about his retirement plans.
?I am 35 now,? said Mayweather:? Before I am 38,probably 37, because I have really taken no abuse in the sport of boxing.? Not all hope is lost for a super fight. Maybe after or if Floyd defeats Cotto on May 5th and after or if Pacquiao defeats Bradley on June 9th, fans can hope for them to get together in the ring while they are still in their prime. But if I was handicapping that event I would say that chances for Mayweather Pacquiao to actually take place are as good as chances of Miguel Cotto of beating Mayweather on May 5th.
