The Filipino fighter took to his Twitter account to relay a series of messages ahead of the world’s first sight of the pair as opponents.

Pacquiao claims he can ‘easily beat’ Mayweather when the two meet on May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, comments that are sure to rile The Money Team.

Tonight’s press conference (01:30 GST) is the only scheduled media event between the two from now until their fight.

Long in the making, the May fight will see two of the greatest fighters to ever lace up a pair of boxing gloves finally meet after years of dispute between the two camps.

Up for grabs will be Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight title and Mayweather’s WBC and WBA gold.

Mayweather will also put his undefeated record of 47-0 on the line when the two come face-to-face at the Vegas casino.
