The back and forth between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, which has been going on for what seems like an eternity, seems to be drawing somewhat nearer to an actual bout.
On Monday, Pacquiao answered Mayweather's challenge from last week, saying that the undefeated champion has run out of places to hide.
"He has reached a dead end," Pacquiao said of Mayweather, according to Sky Sports. "He has nowhere to run but to fight me."
Pacquiao seems to think the biggest challenge in fighting Mayweather will be to keep the fans' interest -- though fans seem pretty interested in whatever these two do.
"I will try my best to make this a thrilling and entertaining fight," Pacquiao said. "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."
He went on to say that money is not an issue, and that Mayweather can take whatever amount of the purse he wants. Pacquiao claims this fight is about more than money.
"This fight is about legacy, this is about making the fans happy and, above all, this is for the good of boxing," he said.
