According to Mayweather, the fight needs to happen, the world deserves it. In a video posted to Instagram, Mayweather is seen talking to Pacquiao about what they’ve done and that they need to lock in a deal soon.

“I congratulate him on his career,” Mayweather says to Pacquiao. “He had a wonderful career and I had a wonderful career, but before we leave the sport, of course, we have to make this fight happen.”
