It is probably the biggest single sporting event in the past 
decade and in no way needs any hyping. That however will not stop Manny 
Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather adding fuel to the hottest fire in some 
time. 
When Pacquiao and Mayweather finally fight on May 2nd it is unlikely that anyone with the slightest modicum of interest for boxing will be anywhere other than glued to a television, unless of course you happen to somehow be in the MGM Grand for the fight, and yet the two world renowned boxers are still building the fight up brilliantly in between their training.
It started last week when footage of 'Pac-Man' was uploaded to the Filipino's instagram account of his street training session where he showed off his fast hand skills.

Following on from this was the news that 
Mayweather had knocked out one of his sparring partners with a body 
blow. The reports coming from photographer Chris Robinson. Following on 
from this news Pacquiao has got his own jab in on the current best 
pound-for-pound boxer by calling 'Money' boring.
Speaking to philboxing.com's Aquiles Z. Zonio the six weight World Champion said; “I
 hope the reports were true. He should be aggressive during our fight so
 we can make the fans happy. We all knew how he fights. In fact his 
previous fights lulled me to sleep.” Mayweather's style over the 
years has been very opposite to Pacquiao's with the American preferring 
to soak up pressure rather than be all-out attack.
Pacquiao continued his verbal assault adding; “His
 previous fights bored me. I hope, this time he would be man enough to 
take some risks. He should prove to the world that he’s a real and 
fearless fighter, not a runner. “This fight should live up to its 
billing. We owe this to the fans. They should get the kind of 
entertainment they want."
Manny and his team no all too well that 
their best chance of winning the highly anticipated fight is if 
Mayweather comes out swinging. Pacquiao's quotes will not have been made
 by accident and the mind games look set to continue for the next seven 
weeks.
