Pacquiao willing to fight Mayweather Junior

Filipino boxing icon Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao responded to Floyd Mayweather Jr’s challenge by saying that he is willing to fight the undefeated American boxer, the local media reported Wednesday.

Pacquiao’s response came in reply to Floyd’s message on his Twitter account, in which he called on Pacquiao to “step up punk”, Xinhua reported.

“Manny Pacquiao I’m calling you out let’s fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see,” Mayweather tweeted.

Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s adviser, said Pacquiao is willing to fight Mayweather, but the bout should be scheduled by end of May.
