SOUNDBITE (English) Manny Pacquiao

"Mayweather team. Mayweather promotion, Top Rank promotion and team Pacquiao (thanks) and to all the media and press thank you so much for all your support. And for the fans of boxing, I believe this is what you have been waiting for since five years ago."

SOUNDBITE (English) Floyd Mayweather

"May 2nd. The fight of the century. It's all about the best fighting the best. And Pacquiao is one of the best fighters of this era. And everything is about timing. I think we couldn't have chosen a better time."

SOUNDBITE (English) Freddie Roach, Pacquiao trainer

"I would just really like to thank all the people who made this fight happen. I love challenges. This is the biggest challenge of my life. It's finally here. It's finally in front of me. I have been looking forward to this for a long, long time. I am going to get my fighter as ready as possible. We are in the toughest fight of our lives. We are fighting the best fighter in the world. We are going to kick his ass. I am sorry! Good luck, Floyd."

SOUNDBITE (English) Floyd Mayweather

"Everyone who wants to keep talking about how this happened - this fight happened because of me. This fight did not happen because of Manny Pacquiao because I asked for the fight myself. We had to chose an opponent for May and said what better opponent to choose. So we chose Pacquiao."
