Subdued Mayweather sure he has winning ticket (Reuters)
With tickets to his May 2 mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao set to fetch jaw-dropping prices, Floyd Mayweather felt no need to add to the hype on Wednesday, avoiding controversy with the same ease with which he evades punches. Undefeated Mayweather even mustered up some faint praise for Pacquiao and refused to respond to taunts made by the Filipino’s trainer Freddie Roach, while offering effusive thanks to the media as he bobbed and weaved his way through a 30 minute conference without landing or taking a single blow. “I don’t worry about tickets, I worry about the guy in front of me,” said Mayweather. Tickets is something I don’t deal with.” About the same time Mayweather was sparring with the media reports circulated that a deal had been reached between the two fighters’ camps that would see tickets go on the market later on Wednesday.
