Pacquiao says he wants real fight, not exhibition match with Floyd

Team Pacquiao has dismissed Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s announcement that he is working on an exhibition fight with Manny Pacquiao in Japan.

Sean Gibbons, president of MP Promotions, said there is no ongoing negotiation regarding the matter.

“All nonsense,” Gibbons said in a report by The STAR.

“I have no idea what my brother Floyd is up to,” Gibbons added in the report.

Mayweather recently posted a video from Tokyo, saying, “What I’m working on right now is the Mayweather-Pacquiao exhibition right here in Tokyo, Japan. Stay tuned.”

For his part, Pacquiao said that if ever he and Mayweather meet again, it should not be an exhibition match.

“Why an exhibition? Make it a real fight,” said the 40-year-old senator and current world champion.
