For over three years, pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather had made a litany of excuses in order to avoid facing Manny Pacquiao in the ring for fear that he may suffer his first loss in his professional boxing career.
That is what many of Pacquiao's fans are saying after spending close to four years waiting for Mayweather to accept Pacquiao's invitation to fight.
Over the weekend, Pacquiao confirmed his fans' observation that indeed Mayweather is scared to face him in the ring.
Pacquiao was reacting to Mayweather's statement calling him a "desperate dog" in the wake of unconfirmed reports that he has agreed to face Pacquiao in September this year.
Aside from having likened Pacquiao to a desperate dog, Mayweather thinks Pacquiao wants to fight him for the big bucks that he needs to pay off his BIR and IRS dues.
In a recent interview on Fytehype, Mayweather belittled Pacquiao's win over Brandon Rios, saying he is a "blown up lightweight" that would not be hard to beat, though he said he like Rios because he's got a heart.
“So this guy's got all these problems and he wants Floyd Mayweather to solve them for him, huh?” said Mayweather, having dismissed rumors of a September date with Pacquiao as “a lie.”
“He's got 68 million problems and he wants me to solve them. First he didn't need me; now he needs me. He's willing to do anything now after his career done took a major setback.”
Then he went on to blame Pacquiao for the lost opportunity to fight when he offered him $40 million but refused because he wanted 50-50, thinking that he was on "the same level with me."
