So, fighting congressman Manny Pacquiao has to get it right on May 2.

“Pacquiao recently admitted that there is no rematch clause for his upcoming super fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.

The report noted: “This fact, however, did not seem to bother the eight-division champion while he was being interviewed by ABS-CBN News’ Dyan Castillejo in General Santos City.” Pacquiao said in Filipino, “What’s important is this fight first.”

In light of his fans’ concerns, Pacquiao added that he still has enough time to train despite the delayed announcement of the bout. He explained that  “an eight-week training period is enough for a bout even of this magnitude.”

The report recalled that “it took more than five years to set the stage for the much anticipated super fight” because while Pacquiao and Mayweather are the top two boxers of this generation, “various issues such as drug testing, split of revenues and promotional rights had prevented the fight from taking place sooner.”
