"He [Mayweather] has reached a dead end. He has nowhere to run but to fight me," stated 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, who recently responded to the challenge of undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather to face him in his next bout on May 2, 2015. According to Pacquiao, he's eager to oblige, saying money is not an issue and urging Mayweather to have a toe-to-toe slugfest with him to give the fans a more entertaining fight as opposed to, as he put it, inducing them to sleep.

MANNY PACQUIAO'S RESPONSE TO FLOYD MAYWEATHER:
"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."
"I know what I have to do. I will chase him wherever he goes just in case he decides to run around the ring. We will devise a good fight plan against him."
"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."
