Comments won’t affect Pacquiao, to focus on training for Hatton fight
MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao doesn’t want to get distracted on the comments made by former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ricky Hatton. Instead, he trains hard and lets his fist do the talking inside the ring.
Mayweather, who also predicted De La Hoya will beat Pacquiao last year, said that the Filipino boxing icon has no chance of winning against Hatton, the same opponent he beat in 2007 before hanging up his gloves.
Hatton, in a press conference last week, also said that he is convinced he can beat Pacquiao in their scheduled 12-round bout on May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao just brushed aside their comments.
“I don’t want to respond on their comments. They just wanted me to get mad and react on what they say," said Pacquiao in Filipino. “You can see who the better boxer inside the ring is. You just don’t talk about it but rather show it."
Pacquiao said he is confident on his boxing skills and believes that prayer and trust in God also help him win matches. “I won’t promise anything but I will do my best when I fight Hatton."
He said that by the middle of February he would start jogging and lifting weights as a preparation for another eight weeks of training at Freddie Roach’s Wildcard Gym in Los Angeles.

Pacquiao word is a Filipino language which means "wholesale". MAnny rhymes with "money" thus
you have the total picture that Manny is in for a "wholesale money". And that does not include Hatton or Mayweather Jr.Weather Jr. should stay retired as his name is also very close to the word weather away.
