First the war of words and next perhaps the Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2.0 !
Both boxers have been going at each other since Manny Pacquiao’s title fight win over Kieth Thurman at the weekend.
The drama started with Floyd Mayweather Jr’s Instagram post, which Manny Pacquiao was quick to respond to like a counter punch.
Mayweather posted:
I find it ironic how every time Pacquiao’s name is brought up in the media, my name is always attached to it. This man’s entire legacy and career has been built off its association with my name.
Pacquiao’s response:
@FloydMayweather You come to my fight and then use my name in a post but I’m the one that is trying to stay relevant? if you want to be relevant again… #MayPac2
The dust had barely settled after Pacquiao’s response than the Money Man hit back with one below the belt.
Mayweather was quite detailed this time around as he laid into the 40 year-old Filipino Senator.
Let’s stick to the facts! Bob Arum is no longer your promoter, so when it comes to @mayweatherpromotions & PBC events I’m the HNIC!
Bottom line, I make more money than you; I beat you, then I signed you! I was only at your fight supervising you, my employee, as any real BOSS would do. You made $10Million for 12 rounds, when I just made $9M in under 3 minutes playing around in an exhibition with a pizza delivery guy! I beat you mentally, physically and financially!
Remember, you fight cause you have to, I fight when I want to!
In 2015 Mayweather and Pacquiao went the entire 12 rounds of the Unified WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, and The Ring welterweight title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Mayweather won by unanimous decision and now at 42; while Pacquiao is 40, their next fight could go down the history books as a title fight with the oldest boxers involved.
