(VIDEO) MAYWEATHER WANTS PAY-PER-VIEW BOXING BOUT PROMO WITH PACQUIAO REVISED

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – The countdown has begun for what is being billed ‘The Fight of the Century,’ between American Floyd Mayweather and Filipino Manny Pacquiao.

The boxing bout between  between the eight-division world champion Pacquiao and the undefeated five-division world champion Mayweather unfolds at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2, 2015.

Already, MGM has announced a sold-out crowd, while millions more around the world are expected to watch the fight on Pay-Per-View (PPV).  PPV has been aggressively promoting the fight with an impressive 30-second promo video.

But Mayweather is not happy about the  video.  It shows him and Pacquiao walking towards each other, looking intensely at each other, and showing the world they are  ready to knock each other out.

The American boxer, however, has demanded a re-shoot of the video because he says he was ‘duped.’

“PPV producers asked me to show up all sweaty for the shoot, only to find out they didn’t ask the same of Pacquiao.  Now it appears that I am nervous and fearful about the fight, which is definitely not the case,” Mayweather said.

Mayweather also told reporters that he was asked to show a somewhat smiley face to look more attractive to the viewers, while Pacquiao was instructed to look as fierce as a raging eagle.

“It’s just not a fair portrayal of myself,” Mayweather added.

When asked about Mayweather’s demand, Pacquiao simply smiled and made the sign of the cross.
