Floyd Mayweather is a boxer mostly known for his impeccable defence and countering skills so his reported comments that he vows to knock Pacquiao should the fight push through on May 2, 2015.
BoxRec has reported that Floyd Mayweather is looking to knock Pacquiao out so that there would be no doubt that he beat Pacquiao in their fight. Floyd Mayweather is also questioning the punching power of the Filipino boxer seeing that Pacquiao hasn't won a fight via KO since 2009 when he beat Miguel Cotto.
Meanwhile, the Manila Bulletin has confirmed that Mayweather is going to get a guaranteed $100 million purse for the fight and a $80 million purse for Pacquiao.
Scott Christ of BadLeftHook.com has also reported that:
"Mayweather's $100 million purse doesn't include PPV upside and all the other revenue streams he's wisely used to his advantage as boxing's top draw, and Pacquiao's $60 million would go up, too."
Dailymail.co.uk has also reported that Floyd Mayweather demands a rematch with Pacquiao should he lose the first fight.
Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach told Dailymail as he reviewed the prospects for a Mayweather fight before flying back from China to Los Angeles.
Roach told Dailymail that:
"My understanding is that Floyd is insisting on the re-match if Manny beats him, which I believe he will. That's okay with us."
