`Like any other fight’ Pacquiao says
of May 2 battle against Mayweather
Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao may be facing the biggest fight of his career in undefeated rival Floyd Mayweather, but he said yesterday he is taking it all in his stride.
"This is just like any other fight I had before," he told reporters as he went through his regular training regimen in his home town of General Santos in the southern Philippines.
"I've been in this kind of situation many times in my previous fights. It doesn't scare me. I love being the underdog," said Pacquiao, amid reports that oddsmakers in Las Vegas, the venue of the May 2 fight, are giving his opponent the advantage.
