Former world pound-for-pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has called undefeated boxer "Pretty Boy" Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. a coward for refusing to let their dream fight happen.
Maybe as a result of Floyd Mayweather's never-ending insults, boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao gave Floyd Mayweather a dose of his own medicine. He called the undefeated Mayweather, Jr. a coward for making so many excuses just to avoid a fight.
"Mayweather is just a coward, insecure and envy my accomplishments. I don't like to bite his gimmicks and I just want to understand him, although it's too much" said Pacquiao when interviewed by The Manila Times via a DZAR Sunshine Radio phone patch.
Pacquiao believed that whatever happens, Floyd will not fight him and will just invent a lot of excuses to avoid the mega-fight.
According to The Manila Times, Mayweather has told Pacquiao to leave the Top Rank Promotion first before signing a fight with him. He has also cited the drug testing procedures and argument over dividing pay-per-view profits for taking on Pacquiao.
"Top Rank already allowed us to directly negotiate with them before but they never communicated with us. He really looks like he does not want to fight me, so, I think there's nothing we can do about it already. Let's forget about the Mayweather fight for the meantime." Manny Pacquiao told reporters.
Manny Pacquiao said he is ready to agree to Mayweather's condition of 60-40 pay-per-view sharing if ever he offers it again.
"We will consider everything but until now, they don't like to fight. At the same time, people are saying the fight between us needs a trilogy, but how can it be possible if he's not going to fight me first," said Pacquiao.
Pacquiao said he and trainer Freddie Roach is not discussing any release from the Top Rank Promotion since the boxer still has a year left in his contract with Top Rank's Bob Arum.
