WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) says he predicted a long time ago how his highly anticipated fight with Manny Pacquiao would play out.

Both fighters walked away with hundreds millions of dollars, but millions of fans were disappointed with the fight itself.

"I'm not Nostradamus but if you go look at an old interview, I talked about Pacquiao, what they were going to say, what they were going to do and how that fight was going to go," Mayweather said.

Mayweather says the media picked Pacquiao to beat him, which isn't exactly true. When Showtime/HBO conducted a poll among the press, leading into the May 2nd mega-event, the overall picks were so strong in Mayweather's favor that both networks decided to scrap the entire media poll.

Mayweather has always felt underappreciated and was very upset when Pacquiao was named as the 'Fighter of The Decade' for his eight divisional titles.

"Now you got to realize probably almost everybody on the phone chose Pacquiao [to beat me]. Everybody that said that throughout the years that I was a coward, I was scared, he couldn't beat Pacquiao. They gave him this. They gave him so many accolades and he's an all-time great," Mayweather said.

"But all these people had to eat their words. So if he's an all-time great, then what does that make me? If they're saying he's the fighter of the century, what does that make me? So when they do rate me and when my fight is over, the only thing I can do is believe in myself and believe in my skills. I'm going to be The Best Ever till the day I die."

Mayweather will enter the ring for what he says will be his final fight on September 12th, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, when he defends his world titles against former two-time champion Andre Berto in the main event of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card.
