During Saturday’s Triple Header telecast, Marcos Maidana spoke with SHOWTIME about his major assignment next Saturday, May 3, against Floyd “Money” Mayweather live on SHOWTIME PPV (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT)..

“I’m very happy to see this crowd here cheering me on. There is no doubt this is going to be a very difficult fight against Floyd Mayweather, but I am very prepared for this fight.

“There is no doubt that Floyd Mayweather has a great defense, but I have a great attack and that is what I will use.

“I need to do the same thing that I did with (previously unbeaten Adrien) Broner. I need to go out from the get-go and attack him. I know it will be more difficult with Floyd Mayweather but I am ready.

“I am surprised and shocked at the same time seeing all the press that has been following me but I am very tranquil and prepared.”

When asked what the best moment of his career has been thus far, Maidana said, “The best moment is the (fight with Victor) Ortiz.”
