MANNY PACQUIAO:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI just want to prove that I\u2019m still in boxing and my journey in boxing is continuing. I want to entertain people and give a good show on January 19. You don\u2019t want to miss the opportunity to see this great and prestigious fight in the ring with Adrien Broner. I know my opponent is fast and a top caliber fighter, he\u2019s good and we have to work hard and train hard for this fight so the people will be happy. We will give a good fight for the fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cI chose Broner because we can have a good fight and entertain the fans. Adrien is a top caliber fighter and a good boxer. We cannot underestimate him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I met up with Floyd [Mayweather] in Japan, we talked and he said he wants to come out of retirement to challenge me. All I know is fighting in the ring and entertaining people. That\u2019s my job. Floyd has come out of retirement and we\u2019ll see after this fight, but we cannot underestimate Broner and this fight. We will discuss anything with Floyd Mayweather after that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can fight at 140 pounds or 147 pounds and I want to fight the biggest fighters in the world and one of those is Adrien Broner. I can fight anybody.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect more action in the ring, that\u2019s what we want. We don\u2019t talk too much outside the ring but we will do it in the ring.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I still have the [knock out] power. In fact, I have learned how to develop that and by the grace of god, who has given me this power and with hard work and training, that technique is my weapon for this fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have already accomplished my dream and what I want to accomplish in this sport. I just want to continue in the top of boxing and give honor to my country.\u201d<\/p>\n
ADRIEN BRONER:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m real thankful hearing that he was coming over to PBC, \u2018Pacquiao\u2019s Broner Crisis\u2019. I\u2019m happy \u2013 there are a lot of people that wanted this fight and god blessed me to get it. I guess I\u2019m just the chosen one. What can I say about Pacquiao, he\u2019s a future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to call my momma after I looked in the mirror this morning. I had to let her know she has a beautiful son. We finally made it to pay-per-view at 29. I\u2019m the only African-American do to that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a hell of a fight. I\u2019m not coming to just pick up a check. I know when I win this fight, there\u2019s more money to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis fight means a lot to me. A win and I turn legend overnight. I got the whole hood with me just like he has the whole Philippines with him. I don\u2019t even know how to spell that. But I have the whole hood with me: H-O-O-D.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I consider Manny one of the elite fighters at 147. The things he\u2019s done in this game are unbelievable. I talk trash, I play but I know on January 19 I have to be on top of my game. This is his break-out fight to be on the A-side. I know he isn\u2019t trying to look bad. But I\u2019m here to knock him out. I feel like a bum trying to fight for a sandwich.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not worried about what Manny does. He has to worry about what I\u2019m doing. I have three losses and he has eight. But he has been knocked out three times so we know he can go to sleep. He doesn\u2019t need Nyquil for that, and I have the power to do it. He better be on his p\u2019s and q\u2019s because I\u2019m trying to knock him out.<\/p>\n
