Mayweather was the one who came back to steal Pacquiao's glory; Don't get it twisted

Mayweather is now trying to spread some BS about how Pacquiao is riding off his name. Before his fans start parroting this... ...Here are the facts: Pacquiao was involved in the two biggest PPVs in 2008 and 2009 and became the face of boxing when Mayweather was retired and when not many bar his fans cared too much whether he came back or not. After Pacquiao beat De La Hoya, the expectations were for him to fight Hatton and Cotto or Mosley. There was very little demand for a Mayweather fight, being that Floyd was retired and people were starting to forget about him. This is where is gets interesting. For the Pac-Hatton fight, Mayweather chose that weekend in a press conference at the MGM grand to announce his comeback hours before Pacquiao and Hatton were due to fight there. The opponent he chose was Pacquiao's rival from the lower weights, Marquez, and Mayweather even used Pacquiao's name in his comeback statement. Since then Mayweather has grown obsessed with Pacquiao, seemingly always mentioning him and talking about his career in interviews, even posted some Pacquiao fights and stories about him on his Facebook To any neutral observer it looks like Mayweather was the one who came back aiming to steal some of Pac's glory, knowing naturally fans would call for both of them to fight and thus increase interest in Mayweather's fights Numbers back up Mayweather being successful in this strategy. Mayweather did 850K PPV in the US vs Hatton, who was an extremely popular opponent and his main rival. After he came back as a possible Pacquiao opponent, he's sold over 1 million PPV in every fight since, two of them insignifcant matchups. There you go, cold hard facts. So whenever Floyd's fans open their big ignorant mouths claiming Mayweather's jealousy-laden claims, point them to this. Floyd just can't handle the truth: Pac is gonna whoop that ass if the fight is made.
