Manny Pacquiao built his entire career and legacy off my name, says Floyd Mayweather
- ‘Money’ writes a lengthy Instagram post ripping the Philippines icon days after the fighting senator defeated Keith Thurman
- Retired superstar says he ‘easily beat’ Filipino in 2015 and that ‘so-called experts and critics’ are ‘making every excuse in the world’ for a rematch
Last weekend, retired US boxer Floyd Mayweather Jnr only had seven words to say about Manny Pacquiao after the Philippines icon’s split decision victory over previously unbeaten Keith Thurman.
On Tuesday in an Instagram post, “Money” had plenty to say, suggesting Pacquiao built his legacy off his name and telling fans that he “easily beat” him in their 2015 megafight in Las Vegas.
The undefeated welterweight great accompanied his post with a photo of Mayweather landing a right on Pacquiao’s face in the lengthy post.
The American suggested Pacquiao, who last weekend won a split decision against Thurman in Las Vegas, owed his career legacy to him.
“I find it real ironic how every time Pacquiao’s name is brought up in the media, my name is always attached to it,” Mayweather said.
