Pacquiao Takes Latest Shot At Mayweather

It is probably the biggest single sporting event in the past decade and in no way needs any hyping. That however will not stop Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather adding fuel to the hottest fire in some time.
When Pacquiao and Mayweather finally fight on May 2nd it is unlikely that anyone with the slightest modicum of interest for boxing will be anywhere other than glued to a television, unless of course you happen to somehow be in the MGM Grand for the fight, and yet the two world renowned boxers are still building the fight up brilliantly in between their training.
It started last week when footage of 'Pac-Man' was uploaded to the Filipino's instagram account of his street training session where he showed off his fast hand skills.

Following on from this was the news that Mayweather had knocked out one of his sparring partners with a body blow. The reports coming from photographer Chris Robinson. Following on from this news Pacquiao has got his own jab in on the current best pound-for-pound boxer by calling 'Money' boring.
Speaking to philboxing.com's Aquiles Z. Zonio the six weight World Champion said; “I hope the reports were true. He should be aggressive during our fight so we can make the fans happy. We all knew how he fights. In fact his previous fights lulled me to sleep.” Mayweather's style over the years has been very opposite to Pacquiao's with the American preferring to soak up pressure rather than be all-out attack.
Pacquiao continued his verbal assault adding; “His previous fights bored me. I hope, this time he would be man enough to take some risks. He should prove to the world that he’s a real and fearless fighter, not a runner. “This fight should live up to its billing. We owe this to the fans. They should get the kind of entertainment they want."
Manny and his team no all too well that their best chance of winning the highly anticipated fight is if Mayweather comes out swinging. Pacquiao's quotes will not have been made by accident and the mind games look set to continue for the next seven weeks.
