NATAPOS ang dalawang araw na press tour nina eight division world champion Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao at four-division titlist Adrien “The Problem” Broner sa Los Angeles, California sa Estados Unidos na kapwa nangako ng magandang laban sa Enero 19 sa Las Vegas, Nevada.

Itataya ni Pacquiao ang kanyang WBA regular welterweight title sa No. 6 ranked na Amerikanong si Broner at kapwa sila nangakong magpapatulugan sa nasabing sagupaan na ipalalabas sa pay-per-view ng Showtime mula sa MGM Grand Garden Arena sa Las Vegas.

“This fight is going to be a good fight. I have to pass through him before fighting Floyd Mayweather. I want to prove to the boxing fans that Manny Pacquiao is still in the pack. You will see more fights with Manny Pacquiao here in the United States,” sabi ni Pacquiao.

“He’s young and he’s fast – and he’s fast with his mouth. There will be more action in the ring – we know what the people want. It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a fight you will never forget,” aniya.

“I continue my career as a boxer because boxing is my passion. When I hung up my gloves once, I felt sad not being in the ring and giving inspiration to people in the Philippines and boxing fans.”

Hindi naman naniniwala si Broner na kaya siyang talunin ni Pacquiao.

“January 19, I am coming to win. Screw the money, I’m going to be victorious. They keep talking about a Pacquiao-Mayweather 2, but I’m going to mess those plans up. I just don’t see Manny Pacquiao beating me,” ani Broner.

“He’s still in great condition. He’s trained his ass off. I have to keep my composure and stay focused on my game plan. But I’m not going to tell you what that plan is,” diin ng Amerikano. “Hope isn’t my strategy – there will be no luck. I feel like he can’t beat me. Look at my resume – what do I do to southpaws? I stop them. Going into this fight, I’m very confident. I’m going to do what I always do to southpaws and dismantle him.”
