Manny Pacquiao literally got two words in before a conference call about his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. was abruptly cancelled Monday.
A spokesman for Pacquiao's promoter blamed technical difficulties for the cancellation, partly due to the large number of boxing writers and broadcasters who were on the call.
Pacquiao was on the call from Los Angeles for what was supposed to be his last question-and-answer session before he arrives in Las Vegas next week for the May 2 fight. But the only question he answered was from a Top Rank PR person about how training camp was going, to which Pacquiao responded "very good."
