In a face-to-face interview with Sean Evans of Complex News, Pacquiao said he and his team have agreed to everything Mayweather wants and is awaiting his signature on top of the dotted line of their fight contract.
Asked how disappointed he will be if the ongoing fight negotiation falls apart as what had happened in the past, Pacquiao said he is happy with what he has accomplished in his career but he wants the fight for the fans who have waited long enough for the bout they have long wanted to see.
Pacquiao also said he isn’t annoyed with Mayweather adding that he understands him as well as the others who he had fought before but he’s just doing his job as a boxer.
“My job in the ring is my job — nothing personal, he is my brother in Christ.” said Pacquiao, who is actively pursuing his bible ministry.
