The Filipino boxing champion is yet to receive "Taken" actor Liam Neeson's personal plea, asking for two tickets for his "big" fight against the American boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr, ABS-CBN News reported.
In the ABS-CBN morning program, "Umagang Kay Ganda," Pacquiao on Thursday was thrown the question of whether he will grant the Holywood actor's wish or not.
With a laugh, the eight-title world champion said he has yet to hear the news himself.
With "Run All Night" co-actor Joel Kinnaman, Neeson was recently interviewed by Don Tagala to promote their newest movie, as reported by The Inquirer.
Neeson, who lent his voice to Pacquiao's documentary entitled "Manny: The Movie," could not contain his excitement over the much anticipated event "Fight of the Century" asked the Filipino fighter to give him two tickets.
While the "Non-Stop" actor deliberately expressed that he is on Pacquiao's side, he has also suggested that the Filipino boxer-Congressman should consider retirement after the fight, saying "he has made his money."
Also, Neeson has likened the match to Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali's boxing fight in 1971. Meanwhile, Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao conducted an invitation-only conference at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. Wednesday as part of their May 2 super-fight promotion, Wednesday.
The match will happen on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The expectations are high on the Filipino fighter who is on his way to providing his American opponent his first-ever professional ring loss.
