WATCH: Pacquiao tells ESPN why Mayweather was 'afraid' of him

Prior to the press conference for his May 2 fight with Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao went on ESPN's First Take to discuss the much-awaited showdown in Las Vegas.

When asked why the brash American champion was "afraid" to fight him for years, the Filipino ring icon answered frankly.

"He's afraid of losing," said Pacquiao.

"I got to get myself together, I can't believe you said this stuff," said host Stephen A. Smith, who originally posed the question.
