Top Rank Boxing has released the official promo video for the much anticipated Mayweather-Pacquiao fight on May 2, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas live on pay-per-view. Both parties have stepped up their preparations and trainings in the recent weeks as heat intensifies nearer the much-awaited showdown.
“This is what you are waiting for since five years ago,” said Manny Pacquiao, during the official announcement of their fight.
“The fight is on and we’re very excited we will do our best on May 2 to make you happy.”
Pacquiao, who has held world titles in eight different weight divisions, said in an interview with a group of reporters that he was not as concerned about this upcoming fight with Mayweather as compared to his previous fights with Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya. “(Mayweather) had a better chance of winning five years ago,” said Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach. “He has slowed down. I think Manny knows how to beat him.”
“For me to be in the biggest fight in boxing history … I kept my fingers crossed and here we are today,” said Mayweather.
The $300million mega-fight will take place in Last Vegas on May 2.
