Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Fight 2015 News: Pac-Man Talks Meeting With Mayweather - 'He's a Good Person'

Although Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. had their first face-to-face encounter at the Miami Heat game last month, it's no secret that the two boxers are not a fan of each other. While boxing fans anxiously await news regarding the confirmation of their much anticipated fight, the two mostly kept their sparring online as they traded barbs with one another on social media.

Now, in a new interview with Philboxing.com's Dong Secuya, Pacquiao says that Mayweather is a good person after meeting him Miami. However, the Filipino boxer says that Mayweather's attitude changes when he's surrounded by his people.

"I had nothing to do because our flight [back to LA] was cancelled," said Pacquiao of his initial meeting with Mayweather. "So we went to see the Miami versus Milwaukee basketball game and I was surprised to see Floyd across the court. Well, not that surprised because I know Floyd has a house in Miami and he always watches the Heat games. I also learned that Floyd and his friends usually sit where we sat. When Floyd approached me across the court, we were surrounded by a lot of people. Maybe they're thinking that we're going to fight, there and then."

After their short meeting at the game, Mayweather got Pacquiao's number and set up a meeting later that night at the Filipino boxer's suite.

"Later that night he visited me at my hotel," said Pacquiao. "He did most of the talking, and I just listened. I think Floyd is essentially a good person, a nice person. However, when Floyd is surrounded by his people, his attitude changes and he becomes bossy."

There is no word yet whether the multi-million dollar fight between the two boxers will push thru on May 2, said to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
