I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years.

Faith is my motivation to win.

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.

I know everyone in the Philippines is happy.

I'm always having fun in training and in boxing. I think it's because boxing is my passion.

My family moved to the Philippines when I was 14. While living there, I learned that my mom grew up very poor. Seeing that kind of abject poverty firsthand during my travels deeply shaped my life. Seeing those living conditions motivated me to want to tell inspiring stories of struggle and triumph.

I say to Floyd Mayweather Jr., don't be a coward and face me in the ring, mano a mano, and shut your big, pretty mouth so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring.
