Manny Pacquiao won't allow himself to take the blame for any snags that prevent a fight between him and Floyd Mayweather.
The Filipino eight-division champion (57-5-2) supported reports that he agreed to fight the undefeated Mayweather on May 2 with a flurry of tweets directed at the Grand Rapids, Mich. native.
I can easily beat @FloydMayweather, I believe that.

If you really care about the fans, you will fight. If you care about yourself... you won't fight. #MannySmile

Everyone had me as a big underdog to @OscarDeLaHoya too. If @FloydMayweather fights me boxing will get an even bigger upset victory.

The bout is still subject to the approval of Mayweather (47-0), who is speculated to yield 60 percent of the purse, which could eventually net him a figure in the $120 million range.
