Manny Pacquiao to Floyd Mayweather: 'It's time to say yes'

"It's time to say yes."

 

That's Manny Pacquiao's plea to Floyd Mayweather to finally make the much-awaited fight between the two top fighters in the world happen.

 

Pacquiao was coming off a rousing victory over Chris Algieri on Sunday in a one-sided fight that saw the American fighter hit the canvas six times.

 

Predictably, Pacquiao was asked about the possibility of finally fighting Mayweather just moments after his hand was raised.

 

"It's a good thing that we talk about that fight. It's time to say 'yes,'" Pacquiao said in the post-fight press conference.

 

"It's been a long time since I wanted that fight."

 

Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank said the Mayweather fight was the top priority for their camp.

 

"Enough is enough. Let's make the fight happen," said Arum.

 

After years of frustration in making a fight between the two top fighters in the world, there was some light earlier this week after news leaked out that Mayweather was finally open to a fight, according to his network Showtime. No less than CBS Corporation CEO and president Les Moonves is reportedly spearheading the negotiations to make the fight happen. — JST, GMA News
