Some 50,000 Australian fans are expected to be in attendance when Manny Pacquiao takes on Jeff Horn on Sunday in Brisbane.

But the Filipino ring icon said he is unfazed by the homecourt advantage for the Australian fighter, saying he actually enjoys going into hostile territory.

"Ang akala nila advantage sa kanila dahil 50,000 audience ang magsu-support," Pacquiao said in a live interview on "24 Oras" on Friday.

"Mas gusto ko na mas maraming fans yung kalaban ko dahil nagiging inspirado ako," he added.

Pacquiao said he is going into the fight with something to prove.

"Kailangan nating ipakita na kaya pa nating tumalo ng mas bata sa atin," he said.

When asked if he had any prediction for the fight, he noted that he never gives predictions for his matches.

All he can say is that he's all set to jump into the ring.

"Ready tayo physically, mentally, spiritually," he said. —JST, GMA News

The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...
