Mayweather, Pacquiao trade compliments not shots (Reuters)

By Steve Keating LAS VEGAS (Reuters) – Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao appeared more focused on conserving energy and downplaying animosity than stirring the pot for their upcoming mega-fight as the two boxers eased their way through a low-key media conference on Wednesday. “This fight sells itself, I don’t have to do that,” the undefeated Mayweather (47-0) told reporters of taunting his opponent. “This fight is not good versus evil, (it’s) one fighter who is at the top going against another fighter at the top.” Any buzz surrounding the event was sucked out of the glitzy MGM Grand Ka theater as a dozen other people involved in the fight promotion took turns at the microphone before Mayweather and Pacquiao finally had a chance to speak. The attacking Pacquiao arrived on stage dressed sharply in a blazer and trousers while Mayweather, recognized as one of the best defensive fighters of all-time, chose his ‘Money Team’ track suit.
