Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei a Floyd Mayweather tētahi toa tūpāpaku e hoko ana i ngā T-shirt me te haki o Piripi i te papamuri. "E pai ana ahau ki tena", e kii ana a Pacquiao me te kata kata, katahi ka kii ki te kaiarahi o te roopu Moni: "Kia koa ki te roopu Manny". Kua waia matou ki te kite i nga kaimekemeke me nga ahua pouri me nga urupare kino - e mau ana i ta ratou e karanga nei ko to ratou kanohi whawhai - i nga ra whakamutunga i mua i te whawhai ki te whawhai kore. Kei te mihi a Manny Pacquiao ki te mano i tana taenga mai ki te hotera o Mandalay Bay. Kei te tango a Pacquiao i te whakaahua me tana kaiwhakaako rongonui a Freddie Roach i a raua e oha ana ki nga mano. Ko ngā t-shirt o te kapa moni me te haki o Piripi i te papamuri e hokona ana i Las Vegas. Kei a Pacquiao tētahi kāmera hou e tohu ana ia ki te hunga katoa e tūtaki ana ia. Ki ōu whakaaro ko wai ka wikitōria i te whawhai i waenganui i a Floyd Mayweather rāua ko Manny Pacquiao? Ki ōu whakaaro ko wai ka wikitōria i te whawhai i waenganui i a Floyd Mayweather rāua ko Manny Pacquiao? Na whakapuakina mai tōu whakaaro. Ko te PacMan te wairua tino harikoa i Las Vegas, e ataata ana, e tuku ana i ngā pakiwaitara, e manaaki ana i te katoa. Ko tana taonga taakaro hou he kāmera e tohu ana ia ki te tangata e tutaki ana ia, e mea ana: "Ehara au i te mohio nui mo enei mea engari he pai ki ahau te tango whakaahua". Kaore he tohu o te taumaha ahakoa ka huri te korerorero ki te Whawhai o te Rautau. <unk>OK, koinei te whawhai nui rawa atu mo taku taonga tuku iho mekemeke engari e mohio ana ahau ka wikitoria ahau,' e kii ana ia. He maha ngā rautaki mō tēnei pakanga. He tino pai ki ahau. Kāore e taea e au te kī ko Mayweather te hoa whawhai tino mōrearea o taku mahi nā te mea kāore au i whawhai ki a ia. I tēnei wā ko Oscar De La Hoya, ko Miguel Cotto me Juan Manuel Marquez. Ka taea e au te kii he hoa whawhai uaua ia engari he pai ki ahau, he maia hoki. Kua hoki mai taku pūmanawa whakamate. He rerekē ahau i ngā hoa whawhai 47 i whawhai ai ia i mua. He tere ake ahau i a rātou katoa. Ka wheako ia i tana ngaronga tuatahi. <unk>Ko te wā tika tēnei mōku ki te whawhai ki a Floyd. He nui ake te wheako o ahau i tēnei wā i te rima tau ki muri. Kei reira tonu te tere me te mana. Kāore he huringa tau i roto i ahau.' Kua whakawakia hoki rātau ki te whakaroa i tēnei pakiwaitara mō ngā tau e rima...
