Las Vegas - Pound for pound champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) had a media gathering at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, and presented a check for a $100,000 to the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Nevada Affiliate, which is a charity that helps breast cancer survivors.

Mayweather emphatically stated that he is only interested in fighting fellow pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao on May 5th at the MGM Grand. If the fight doesn't take place, Mayweather said that he would have to look to other options.

"Manny Pacquiao is the only fight I want. But, but, but if he won't fight me then I will have to fight someone else. I have to make a living," Mayweather stated.

The Las Vegas resident said that he hasn't thought about other potential opponents and that all of his focus is on Pacquiao. Mayweather was advised that middleweight king Sergio Martinez offered to come down to a catchweight of 150-pounds to fight him. After hearing this news, Floyd said that he would be interested in the potential match.

If Sergio Martinez can make 150, we can make the fight, absolutely. There are no excuses. If he can make 150, lets make it happen. I'm a little but different from the other guys. I think he has a very, very impressive style," Mayweather said.

Martinez returns on March 17th at New York's Madison Square Garden, against tough middleweight contender Matthew Macklin.

The latest in the epic saga, Martinez at 150? doesn't do it for me. I think the Macklin fight will be a good fight. Martinez fighting at 150 makes no sense, I'd feel better with 154. Have at it

Ide watch it.... Even at 150... 154 will be asking Martinez for the P Will treatment. Lol

Of course I'd watch it haha

i don't think Martinez beats Mayweather at 160, he certainly has a better chance at it tho. He's not KO'ing Mayweather. I think Mayweather v Martinez at 154 or above is Floyd's biggest challenge. Asking him to make 150 is like asking Mayweather to make 135, they are both weights neither fighter has seen in 9 years

So let me get this str8, Chop Chop and Mosley can rock FMJ hard yet Maravilla can't? LMAO! Good thing Maravilla's name will never SERIOUSLY come outta FMJ's mouth. Especial taking into account he is standing in the pocket more, missing punches more and don't have the power to keep Maravilla off him. I wish we could see this fight.

i don't understand how people sleep on Martinez in the match up. when people talk about what can beat Mayweather it's always a good jab and goes to the body. Martinez does both and he's every physical advantage except for hand speed. Mayweather has trouble with southpaws and Martinez is a southpaw that can ring him up, he hits harder than anyone Mayweather has fought.

a solid boxer with good defense, a steady jab, and ability to do body work could give Mayweather problems. I don't see that in Martinez, he keeps his hands low and he's easy to hit. Martinez can be controlled with a solid jab and head movement. I think he's Floyd's biggest challenge but I still give the edge to Mayweather. Everyone talks about Floyd getting rocked yet none of those guys were able to drop him. Martinez has power but he makes so many mistakes. Guys who i think would have really troubled Mayweather are guys like Wright and Forrest, right now I don't see anyone besides maybe Lara who I really have to reevaluate my opinion. to each his own. I'm cool with a Martinez fight, i just think the Mayweather Pac bs needs to get the fuck on already

i don't think he's a great defense but he can make people miss and counter people. a jab and head movement wont throw him off, when Barker was being cautious and keeping his guard up Martinez went to the body. Mayweather's body is hittable and Martinez doesn't head hunt if it isn't available. how many guys that wobbled Mayweather hit like Martinez? none of them. Mayweather getting wobbled just shows he's hittable, he's a good defense but he isn't like RJJ going a round without getting hit once. Mayweather's soft fights he's had over the years has people sleeping on this one. this is no Mosley or Ortiz he'll be in the ring with.
