Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr Fight Date

PBC and Fox have confirmed Pacquiao's super-fight with Spence Jr will take place in Las Vegas on 21 August. 

Floyd Mayweather, who beat the likes of Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez and Ricky Hatton in his Hall of Fame boxing career, recently offered to help assist Spence Jr in his preparations for his mega bout against Pacquiao.  

But the Filipino superstar had a few choice words for his former rival as he claimed Spence Jr is 'better than Mayweather'.   

“Errol don’t need to have advice from Mayweather," Pacquiao, known as the 'Pac Man', told reporters at a press conference in Los Angeles.

“I believe Errol is better than Mayweather. He’s a [better] fighter than Mayweather.

“He could teach Mayweather how to fight toe-to-toe.”

He later added: “I’m not like other boxers who fight only for the money. They will challenge non-boxers just for the money.

"As for me, I want a real fight. I fight to challenge the best. I'm not like some who are in it just for money.

"Some challenge non-boxers to get paid. I want the best. If I'm fighting for money, I'd have picked some scrub. This is a real fight."

Spence Jr, 31, also holds the WBC and IBF belts.

The 31-year-old, from Dallas, admitted he was flattered by Pacquiao's comments but insists he will not allow himself to take his eyes off the ball. 

Spence Jr, who was born in New York, replied: “It is a great compliment. But Manny Pacquiao is the kind of guy that can lull you to sleep.

"He’ll give you a lot of compliments, gratitude and things like that. Then as soon as the bell rings, he’s jumping all on you. I will take it.”
