SportsCenter will televise live the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao press conference on Wednesday, March 11, from Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre at 4:30 p.m. ET. SportsCenter’s Lindsay Czarniak will anchor coverage from ESPN’s L.A. studio, and ESPN boxing analyst Teddy Atlas will be in L.A. providing insight and analysis. Neil Everett and Stan Verrett will co-anchor coverage from the Red Carpet outside the Nokia Theatre.
In addition, reporters Jeremy Schaap and Bernardo Osuna will be on site to interview both fighters before and after the press conference. Following the press conference, Czarniak will anchor the 6 p.m. SportsCenter from ESPN’s L.A. studio.
The much-anticipated Mayweather and Pacquiao fight takes place on May 2, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
As opposed to a massive press tour as these fighters usually do, the press conference on Wednesday is the only event lined up to kick off the promotion. Press needed to be credentialed to attend, and the event was not open to the public. Strictly business here.
On Wednesday, we’ll follow up with all of the photos, quotes and details from the opening Mayweather vs. Pacquiao press conference, or simply tune into Sportscenter on Wednesday to watch for yourself.
