MANILA, Philippines – It’s the holidays and Floyd Mayweather Jr is in a jolly mood.
In a post on his social media accounts, the undefeated American boxer posts a meme featuring himself and 8-division world champion Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao in what he calls his “Christmas card to the world.”
The post shows Mayweather calling Pacquiao supposedly initiating fight negotiations with 60/40 split of winnings in favor of the American. The next frame shows Pacquiao declining the offer saying it should be a 50/50 split.
The next two frame shows Pacquiao knocked out in his 2012 fight against Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez, then Pacquiao again praying Mayweather would call him again.
The latest move from the crafty boxer adds another chapter to the endless speculation and discussion of possibly meeting the Filipino fighter in the ring.
Mayweather insists he’s not afraid of fighting the People’s Champ but his actions in the past suggest otherwise.
Pacquiao was recently named top contender to Welterweight champion Mayweather by the World Boxing Council (WBC) following his conquest of Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios. But various reports said Mayweather will vacate the WBC title to avoid fighting Pacman.
Pacquiao had also previously agreed to taking less money and random drug tests just to make the fight happen.
In the press conference after his comeback win against Rios, Pacquiao said he will fight anyone, including Mayweather, as long as they are ready to step into the ring with him.
Will we ever bear witness to the Pacquiao-Mayweather megafight? While we hope we will, if Mayweather gets his way, this could very well be the best fight to never happen. – Rodneil Quiteles/Rappler.com
