Mayweather bribing fighters not to spar with Manny? It's OK, says Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao is unperturbed by reports that Floyd Mayweather’s camp was bribing his prospective sparring mates.

“It’s okay. I’m not bothered. Coach Freddie (Roach) had already hired a few sparring partners who are Mayweather’s look-alike,” Pacquiao said.

The unbeaten welterweight Mayweather (47-0, 26KOs) faces eight-division champion Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38KOs) in Las Vegas on May 2 in the richest fight of all time.

“During the fight, there’s no other guy atop the ring except the two of us. I know what to do. And that’s what we’re practicing now,” Pacquiao said.

Pacquiao vowed to pursue Mayweather relentlessly from pillar to post, adding that “He can run but he cannot hide.” —Agence France Presse
