Fight Hub TV was in Los Angeles as Top Rank in Association with Showtime formally started the press tour for the Manny Pacquiao vs. “Sugar” Shane Mosley bout on May 7th in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand. The three city press tour will roll on to Las Vegas on Saturday at the MGM Grand with a open forum press conference. The start time will be at 3 pm and fans are encouraged to attend and ask questions.
From Las Vegas, both fighters will make their way over to New York on Monday February 14 at the The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers (Pier 61) with a news conference that will be open to the public beginning at 11 am.
Below are highlights and quotes from today’s media press conference:
Manny Pacquiao: “This is a good fight on May 7. All I can say [to Shane] is I hope you train hard for this fight and I will train hard for this fight. Shane doesn’t look like he is 39. I look at him as a much younger fighter who has a lot of power. He has much more experience than I do. Those things worry me. I will train extra hard.”
Shane Mosley: This is one of the biggest fights of my career, if not the biggest. I am fighting a warrior, a real warrior in the ring. I still have power. I go for knockouts. My punches can hurt and wobble you. Manny is a nice guy, so likeable, but all of that goes aside when we are inside the ring.
