Mayweather thrash talking again with Pacquiao as “desperate, broke”

Floyd Mayweather once again blast Manny Pacquiao, not in ring but in the “thrash talking.”

The American took a time to take swipe to anew at Pacquiao, now focusing on Filipino icon’s financial state and the pay—per—view marketability.

 

In a post that he made on his Twitter and Instagram, Floyd Mayweather included three photos of Manny Pacquiao showing him on canvass during his fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez in the year 2012. Pacquiao hit on the deck twice during the said bout, the second one a scary sight as the Filipino southpaw hit on the floor face—first and became unconscious.

The post on the social media comes amid renewed clamor for Mayweather to face Manny Pacquiao in fight seen to be the richest ever in sport. World Boxing Council recently declared support in megabuck bout, and Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach called out boxing broadcasters HBO and Showtime to help the fight happen.

Floyd Mayweather holds record for most—watched boxing match on PPV, with his 2007 showdown with Oscar Dela Hoya selling 2.4 million units amounting to USD136 million in revenue. It has surpassed previous record 1.99 million PPV units by the second bout between Evander Holyfield and Tyson in 1997.

Pacquiao has seen decline in his PPV numbers, especially his fight with Brandon Rios in 2013. He is currently dealing with tax issues both Philippines and US, likely the reason for Floyd Mayweather mocking him for his purported financial difficulties.

Floyd Mayweather also outpointed Maidana in their rematch last September 14, and Pacquiao has fight lined up in Macau against Algieri.
