Less than two weeks before the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, the Filipino fighter has revealed that he knows what Mayweather will bring in the ring while trainer Freddie Roach has disclosed that Manny saves him from suicidal thoughts.

GMA News reported that the eight-division champion knows what Floyd Mayweather will bring on their upcoming fight on May 2.

"I feel very excited for the fight. I have lots of sparring partners that are similar to the Floyd's fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect," said Pacquiao.

"Style-wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct are the exact same as it was five or six years ago."

He also revealed that his team has watched "tapes on Floyd" to make sure that their technique and strategy is correct. Pacquiao added that beating Floyd will be his biggest win ever.

"I can say that beating Floyd Mayweather would be the biggest victory of my career," he said.

Meanwhile, Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said that working with Manny saves him from suicidal thoughts because he is afflicted with Parkinson's disease.

"I don't get sick too often. When I'm sick, I just go to the gym and it goes away. With Parkinson's, sometimes you wake up and think: 'Why the f-did they pick me?' But, you know, that's part of life," said Roach according to The Telegraph.

"Some of the medications do cause depression and so forth, and some mornings I'll think bad things. But then I'll go to the gym and go to work and everything bad goes away.

As for Manny's upcoming fight with Mayweather, Roach believes that Manny being a southpaw will be a huge factor in this fight.
