Mayweather calls Pacquiao ‘Miss Pac Man,’ mocks Marquez KO loss

MANILA, Philippines – Floyd Mayweather Jr. has once again taken to social media to take shots at Manny Pacquiao, posting a collage of Pacquiao’s knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez on Twitter and Instagram to taunt the 8-division champion.

Mayweather (47-0, 26 knockouts) added: “Miss Pac Man is broke and desperate for a pay day. Your Pay-Per-View numbers are a joke.”

The barb comes days after Pacquiao’s account (which is believed to be handled by a representative) tweeted Mayweather about the American fighter’s recent hearing at the Nevada State Athletic Commission regarding betting on sparring sessions where other boxers fight 31-minute rounds and marijuana use by visitors at his Las Vegas gym.

Mayweather claimed that the All Access reality show, which is produced by the Showtime network, is staged to promote his fights.

“.@FloydMayweather’s testimony to the commission on All Access’ authenticity tells me everything I need to know about his desire to fight me,” said the tweet.

Mayweather is currently working with former Pacquiao conditioning coach Alex Ariza, who clashed frequently with Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach. Ariza and Roach were involved in an altercation before Pacquiao’s 2013 fight with Brandon Rios, with Ariza kicking Roach.

Pacquiao’s biggest pay-per-view successes were his fights with Oscar de la Hoya and the third Juan Manuel Marquez fight, which registered 1.25 million buys. Mayweather’s fight with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in 2013 did a reported 2.48 million buys.

Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) is scheduled to fight unbeaten WBO junior welterweight titleholder Chris Algieri on November 23 at The Venetian in Macau, China on rival network HBO.

Pacquiao had renewed his challenge to Mayweather earlier this month, telling Agence France-Presse: “He’s all talk. Until now he has not yet agreed to fight me. Instead of blabbing, he should face me atop the ring.” (RELATED: Stop blabbing and fight me, Pacquiao tells Mayweather)

The two most popular pay-per-view draws in boxing have circled each other for the past five years but have failed to come to terms for the historic match.

In the past, disagreements over pre-fight performance enhancing drug testing and purse splits had broken down negotiations, but Mayweather announced a new set of demands to ESPN UK after his second straight victory over Marcos Maidana earlier this month. (RELATED: Mayweather sets new demands for Pacquiao fight)

“If the Pacquiao fight does happen it has to happen on Showtime pay-per-view only and Mayweather Promotions have to do the fight.” – Rappler.com
