Pacquiao, Mayweather Take Jabs At Each Other Via Social Media
Two of the highest paid athletes in the world are all set to meet glove-to-glove in the ring. There have been rumors of this fight happening for several months, and after all the drama, the contracts, and the disappointments, fans can finally prepare themselves to see these two settle it in the ring.The high-profile fight reportedlyÂ began to take shape last year, when friends of Floyd âMoneyâ Mayweather began mercilessly teasing him, claiming that he would never take a fight with Pacquiao because he knew that he would lose. Apparently, Mayweather took this as a challenge, a blow to his ego that rattled his cage enough to agree to get in the ring.âIâm not afraid of anyone,â says Mayweather via Facebook. âI will step in the ring with King Kong himself, and Iâd whoop that monkeyâs ass, too.Â They say money canât buy you happiness, but I tell you what â Iâll feel extremely happy when I get the extreme amounts of cash from this fight purse. In no way, shape, or form will Manny be able to stand toe-to-toe with me.âIt appears that Mayweather has it in his head already that the fight is in the bag, and he should breeze though it as if it was just any punk off of the street. This may or may not be the case, but in Pacquiaoâs eyes, the outcome of the fight will be completely different.âIâm going to punch him in the face until he canât get up,â said Pacquiao via Instagram, being as literal as possible in his description of the fight. âI will hit him with my left fist, then I will hit him with that same left fist. Then perhaps a right fist. Eventually, when he is down, I will laugh in his face. Wait and see.Â All his money, it wonât be able to save him in the ring. Well, maybe he can use a $100 bill to wipe away the blood and tears.ââBlood and tears? That sonofaâ. You know what Iâll use that $100 bill for?â Said Mayweather, in response via Twitter. âIâm going to use that $100 bill to buy a box of tissues, probably Kleenex brand, because theyâre way softer than money for wiping away tears. Also, Iâll expect at least $97 in change from that $100, and Iâll put that back in the bank. Canât be too careful in this economy.âThe full fight card has not yet been announced, but the pay-per-viewÂ planning stages are underway.
