Now he\u2019s in a very, very tight situation, he\u2019s lost to Marquez, he\u2019s lost to Bradley, pay-per-view numbers are down extremely low, so he\u2019s desperate. I\u2019ve been wanting that fight a long time ago and I\u2019m just waiting on them. Of course, we have to make the fight on Showtime Pay-Per-View because Showtime Championship Boxing is number one and will remain number one and I\u2019m here to stay.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFloyd Mayweather is not ducking or dodging any opponent. Bob Arum is stopping the fight. We have been trying to make this fight happen behind the scenes for years now, but the fans and the people have been fooled because they have been listening to people on just one side. Now it\u2019s time for us to talk. We want to fight. We\u2019re ready. Let\u2019s make it happen May 2nd, Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao. Let\u2019s do it!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that he\u2019s not on my level. The fans would love to see the fight and, of course, I want to go out with a bang, so let\u2019s make this fight happen. Manny Pacquiao, Bob Arum, you guys have been ducking us for years. We\u2019re tired of you guys fooling the public, fooling the critics. Before we tried to make the fight happen, you guys didn\u2019t want to take random blood and urine testing so that\u2019s why the fight didn\u2019t happen. I offered you $40 million, then you didn\u2019t want to make the fight happen. You lost twice, now you\u2019re coming back begging for the same money. That\u2019s not going to happen. Let\u2019s make this fight happen for the people and for the fans, Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao, May 2nd, \u2018Cinco de Mayweather!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=39299\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/imagez\/rsrad.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WBC\/WBA welterweight and super welterweight unified champion Floyd Mayweather Jr spoke to Showtime\u2019s Steve Farhood about the possibility of finally facing WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. \u201cI\u2019d love to fight Manny Pacquiao,\u201d stated Floyd. \u201cWe tried to make the fight happen years ago.
