Pacquiao responds to Mayweather, says fight is about legacy

Manny Pacquiao has responded to Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s call for a fight to take place between the two boxers on May 2, 2015 and the WBO Welterweight champion didn't pull any punches in talking about his long-time rival.

From USA Today Sports:

He has reached a dead end. He has nowhere to run but to fight me. I will try my best to make this a thrilling and entertaining fight. But I doubt if he’s gonna engage me in a slugfest. You all know his fighting style. Most of his previous fights, if not all, induced us to sleep.

Mayweather can get the amount he wants. As early as January this year, I challenged him to a charity fight. Until now, he has not agreed to it. So, money is not the issue in our fight. This fight is about legacy, this is about making the fans happy and, above all, this is for the good of boxing.

Though the fight is still very much up in the air with issues over drug testing and money still factors, it seems Pacquiao is ready to go and would like nothing more than to be the first man to defeat Mayweather Jr.
