Manny Pacquiao could decide today or tomorrow whether he will fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5th — this according to Manny’s trainer.
Freddie Roach just told TMZ Manny and promoter Bob Arum are in the Philippines, figuring out if they can put off several deals to fight other boxers … to clear the decks for a May Mayweather fight.
Roach is scoffing at Mayweather’s tweet, in which he calls Pacquiao a “punk,” saying, “He should look in the mirror. He’s been ducking us for 2 years.”
As for what weight class Pacquiao will fight Mayweather … Roach said 147 lbs — that’s the upper limit of welterweight.
Of course, even if Pacquiao can rearrange his schedule, both sides have to agree on a financial deal. Roach says, “We’ll do it on even terms.”

Never mind what Cheater Mayweather said. Advices to Pacquiao, give no respect to this classless boxer and beware of his sneak attacks even before and after the bell. Also, don’t bother of Mayweather’s get-in-your-mind tactic before and during the fight. One last note for fun, Mayweather choose his lucky month ‘May'(Mayweather) to fight, because he will need all the lucky he has. :=)
Why I am not surprised to Mayweather’s call-out to Pacquiao. After the last Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez match, it totally shows Pacquiao’s less effective against complete counter punch strategy which is the expertise of Mayweather. This observation boosts the confidence of Mayweather to a level he dare to call out a fight to Pacquiao. Most of all expect this to happen after Pacquiao’s last match.
I for one am sick of this. Let’s be honest, Pacquiao is trying to make up a million reasons not to fight Mayweather. I was a huge Pacquiao fan at one time. But I think he got caught up in the fame, and no longer trains like he should before a fight. It almost cost him a lose with Marquez. At this point I do not think the fight would even be worth watching, Mayweather will make it look easy as he always does. I do not like Mayweather, but I do think he is the by far the best technical boxer in the world. Pac does not have any defense what so ever. Which is why Marquez did so well in there fight. And I really think Marquez won the fight. I think everyone is looking for someone to put up a fight against Mayweather, but I do not think Pac is the one. I think he realizes this also, which is why he is trying to dodge the fight. Just my 2 cents.
To call him the best technical boxer is exaggerated. Mayweather’s at most qualified for “the technical fox-er.” His sneaky foxy tactic would do for street fights, but in a ring, (sneering at it). Sadly, with his quickness and skills, he didn’t need to cheat to win many of his fights. I can see someday after losses, Mayweather will be the next Mike Tyson who chewed off an ear. :=)
