He is in it to win it.

Pacquiao said he wants to win this Sunday for his family, his country and all his supporters around the world.
American legend Mayweather and Filipino great Pacquiao are meeting for the WBC, WBA and WBO welterweight titles.
In its purest form, professional boxing is not a sport. It is a business.
Floyd Mayweather against Manny Pacquiao has become exactly that, a contract between two prize fighters both nearing the end of glittering ring careers lasting nearly 20 years, the two men weighed down by world title belts in the ring, and even more baggage outside it.
As they came face to face at the MGM Grand hotel earlier today, in one of the two set pieces before they touch gloves for bragging rights to proclaim themselves the leading fighter of the era, Mayweather displayed a growing, disarming maturity.
It is no longer a legacy fight for him, it is about what he can secure for the future.
He said that this is not good versus evil, its two fighters at the top, as both men thanked an endless list of television executives, and God.
The Telegraph reports that in fact, so tame was the affair, God won the press conference on points.
Meanwhile, President of the Filipino Association in Fiji, Primo Relos Junior said they have booked the Defense Club in Suva where they will watch the fight.
Relos Junior said the Filipino Community in Fiji is excited about the fight and they have also designed special Pacman t-shirts.
Mayweather will fight Manny Pacquiao at about 3pm Sunday, and you can watch it live on Sky Pacific’s Pay Per View channel for $40 for residential customers and $300 for commercial customers.
