MANILA, Philippines — Welterweight kings Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr. came face-to-face yesterday in a press conference at the Fox Studios in Los Angeles. On Aug. 21, Pacquiao, 42, and Spence, 31, will trade blows at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a high-profile showdown and a potential Fight of the Year. Spence was asked if he would seek or heed advice from Floyd Mayweather Jr., who defeated Pacquiao in 2015 but now has chosen to figure in lucrative exhibition fights. “Errol doesn’t need to get advice from Mayweather because I believe that Errol is better than Mayweather. Spence, who has fought only once after nearly losing his life in a high-speed Ferrari crash in 2019, seemed flattered.
