With the fight coming up on May 2, there has been a great deal of media attention directed towards the fighters.
For Mayweather, he's been seen in the media on a different note. The Undefeated World Champion has switched from his usual cocky and arrogant mindset to a focused and humbled one. He's been noted in interviews to giving genuine respect to his opponent Manny Pacquiao and his camp.
But Manny Pacquiao took a different route with Floyd's face....
Some may feel its not a big deal because typically some fighters or athletes will use the image of their opposition as motivation during training leading up to the competition.. but for a boxing bout of this level, it seems like that little stab Manny Pacquiao took today adding the new Floyd Speed Bag might add additional fire to the fight itself.
The funny thing fact is that the 'Mayweather Bag' happens to be a gift given Manny Pacquiao. So deliberate or not, it definitely makes it interesting that he wasn't hesitant to use it during a morning speed bag session because the bag isn't just for looks it was painted with a special varnish that can withstand most if not any kind of beating.
Of course, Floyd's camp wasn't going to not take a punch back at Pacquiao saying, "Have fun with your 'Mayweather' punching bag because its the only way your going to beat up Floyd's face."-TMZ
Floyd Maywetaher's Money Team made it clear that yes it was humorous item but the stunt is just sparking more animosity towards Manny Pacquiao.
May 2nd will truly be a spectacular day when the bell rings for the start of the first round, because the entire world will be able to see what this fight means to the two camps.
