Boxing-Reckless means ‘entertaining’ for Pacquiao (Reuters)
By Mark Lamport-Stokes HOLLYWOOD, California, April 15 (Reuters) – Appearing relaxed and confident, Manny Pacquaio embraced suggestions he was “a reckless fighter” when he held a workout for the media on Wednesday ahead of his heavily anticipated fight against Floyd Mayweather. The May 2 showdown in Las Vegas between the two biggest drawcards of their generation has been more than five years in the making and Pacquiao also expressed hope that the defense-minded Mayweather would show more aggression in the ring. On Tuesday at his boxing club in Las Vegas, American Mayweather described Pacquiao as “a very, very reckless fighter” who left himself open to punches, and the Filipino southpaw was happy to agree. “A reckless fighter, that’s why people like me and love me because they like exciting fights,” Pacquiao smiled as he spoke to reporters at the Wild Card Boxing Club.
