Floyd Mayweather Jr. to fight Manny Pacquiao in 2010
Appeared on The Philippine Star, Sports Section; Editor, Lito A. Tacujan/Assistant Editor, Gerry Carpio on Tuesday, November 17, 2009.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. last night said he is ready to make the big-money fight with newly crowned WBO welterweight world champion Manny Pacquiao happen.
“If he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. all he has to do is step up to the plate,” said Mayweather, according to CNN report.
The undefeated 32-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr. was reacting to the statement of Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach, who said the “whole world” now wanted to see a fight with Mayweather after the Filipino boxing icon whipped Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto to capture the WBO welterweight crown last Saturday in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao-Mayweather match, if it goes ahead, is expected to challenge the mark set by Oscar De la Hoya’s bout with Mayweather for the most profitable fight in history.
Mayweather, whose nickname is “Money,” sai: “If I go out and make $60-75 million in one night; come on – I’m not losing.”
