Manny Pacquiao has taunted Floyd Mayweather ahead of the long-awaited bout between the two in Las Vegas on Saturday, saying that the unbeaten American is not even the most dangerous opponent of his career, and that he will be too quick for him.
The contest at the MGM Grand Arena will be the richest fight in boxing history, and is expected to generate more than £300m for the pair, with the split going 60/40 in Mayweather's favour.
Mayweather, 38, is an 11-time, five-weight world champion, while the Filipino Pacquiao, 36, has won versions of the world title at a record eight different weights.
"I'm different to the 47 opponents he has fought before. I'm faster than them and I'm content for the fight. I believe this is the moment he will experience his first loss," Pacquiao said.
"I can't say Mayweather is the most dangerous opponent of my career because I've fought guys like Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel and Marquez and other boxers.
"He's a difficult opponent but my confidence is different for this fight. This is one of the most important fights for my boxing legacy."
The fight will be broadcast on Sky Sports Box Office for UK viewers. The fight will cost £19.95 to purchase on Box Office, and will cost an additional £2 booking fee for those who book on the day.
