"It's going to be a good fight because Timothy Bradley is a strong fighter and he loves to fight toe-to-toe and he's undefeated, and I think it's going to be a lot of boxing in the ring, so what we're going to do is we're going to train hard. We're going to do at least 10 weeks of training for this fight and I hope the same thing with Timothy Bradley, who will train hard for this fight, so we can give a good fight and we can entertain people," stated 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, who along with undefeated jr. welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, kicked off their two-city, coast-to-coast media tour The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Check out what else he had to say.
MANNY PACQUIAO:
First, I thank God for everything and all the blessings that he's given to us. I want to thank my team, Freddie, Koncz (laughing), and Jeng Gacal, and Alex Ariza, and I thank Bob Arum, Top Rank Promotions, and HBO Pay-Per-View, MGM, and I also want to thank all the fans and media who are here today. Of course I want to thank all my friends who are here today also.
Please watch our upcoming fight on Jun 9th. It's going to be a good fight because Timothy Bradley is a strong fighter and he loves to fight toe-to-toe and he's undefeated, and I think it's going to be a lot of boxing in the ring, so what we're going to do is we're going to train hard. We're going to do at least 10 weeks of training for this fight and I hope the same thing with Timothy Bradley, who will train hard for this fight, so we can give a good fight and we can entertain people, especially to all the people who are going to watch the fight on June 9th.
So please watch; don't miss it! It's going to be a good fight. And thank you to all of you for all your support, and to all the boxing fans. And of course, first of all, I thank God for everything. Thank you.
