Pacquiao calls Mayweather coward for refusing to fight..

FORMER world pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao has called undefeated American Floyd Mayweather Jr. a coward for refusing to let their dream fight happen. Pacquiao said Mayweather is envious and insecure of his ring accomplishments, including being the only boxer in the world to hold eight world titles in various weight divisions. Mayweather “is just a coward, insecure and envy my accomplishments. I don’t like to bite his gimmicks and I just want to understand him, although it’s too much,” Pacquiao when interviewed by The Manila Times via a DZAR Sunshine Radio phone patch on Thursday night. The 34-year-old Pacquiao believes that whatever happens, the Grand Rapids native won’t fight him and will continue to make a lot of excuses in order to avoid the megabout, which the boxing world has been craving for since 2009. “But I’m really thankful that he always remember me in some ways,” he said. In Internet reports, Mayweather Jr. (45-0 card with 26 knockouts) has told Pacquiao to leave the Top Rank Promotion first before signing a fight with him. He has also cited the drug testing procedures and argument over dividing pay-per-view profits for taking on Pacquiao. “Top Rank already allowed us to directly negotiate with them before but they never communicated with us,” said the boxer-turned-Sarangani congressman. “Mayweather Jr. is saying a lot of negative things against me but he doesn’t like to fight.” Pacquiao (55-5-2 win-loss-draw card with 38 knockouts) said he is ready to agree to Mayweather’s 60-40 pay-per-view sharing if ever he offers it again. “We will consider everything but until now, they don’t like to fight. At the same time, people are saying the fight between us needs a trilogy, but how can it be possible if he’s not going to fight me first,” said Pacquiao. Pacquiao said he and trainer Freddie Roach is not discussing any release from the Top Rank Promotion since the boxer still has a year left in his contract with Top Rank’s Bob Arum. Mayweather said Pacquiao should have worked for Al Haymon instead of Arum. http://manilatimes.net/pacquiao-calls-mayweather-coward-for-refusing-to-fight/66830/

Fact is, most keyboard warriors have more heart and balls that Floyd does... and that's not saying much either. And he is definitely not close to being the best fighter of our era. His resume says otherwise. At doing what talking sh1t on the Internet it surely takes alot balls to do that

Look Floyd knows damn well he cannot beat Pacquiao. His philly shell/shoulder roll are designed for slow/medium speed stationary fighters. He continues to avoid the fight because he still doesn't believe he can beat Pacquiao. Of course he is a coward. Lol keyboard warriors calling the best fighter of our era a coward. Classic

Mayweather can't seem to move on to his next fight without dragging Pacquiao's name. He's been tweeting Pac's name and his pictures for what? Yet he won't fight him. He should be focusing on his fight with Khan. What exactly is Money Mayweather up to?

Does he really expect a 60/40 split after those last PPV numbers??????? Trilogy???? is that how many fights he will need to pay the IRS??? He needs to win is next fight impressively I'm not even talking about PPV because Top Rank does not have that many fighters that will help Manny do good numbers. A Bradley win puts him right back where he needs to be to get a fight with Floyd and that should be his only option. Robert Guerrero is not a good look right now he needs to get a good win or it may do less then the Rios fight.

I'm pretty sure this is a translation of something Pacquiao said in his native language. His English not being that good makes him appear less intelligent than he really is, because he struggles to articulate. But as can be seen here, when he speaks in a language he is good with, he is far less naive than we might think.

Not a very big fan of Manny but I respect when he stands up for himself. **** the nice guy and gentleman attitude. This is what I like to see from Manny, Instead of sitting there, smiling and absorbing all the shots from Mayweather...fire back. Call him a *****; coward...egg the motherfucker on.
