The unbeaten Mayweather called out the Filipino superstar on Tuesday, daring Pacquiao to meet him May 5 in Las Vegas.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are boxing’s top two stars, and they have circled each other warily for more than two years. Both have said they’re eager to fight, yet neither has agreed to a deal for what’s likely to be the most lucrative bout in boxing history.

Mayweather has stepped up his campaign since Pacquiao’s narrow win over Juan Manuel Marquez last November.

Mayweather is available for a fight in May at the MGM Grand Garden after a Las Vegas judge agreed last week to postpone his jail sentence in a domestic violence case until June.

now this i gotta see! however i think if "money" wants to beat "pacman" convincingly he needs to throw more punches. somehow i doubt that his defensive strategy will be adequite for the win.

Uya-tuja uMayweather, his got a promotional company in association with Golden Boy and if he is serious about fighting Pac Man, he should approach Top Rank/Pac Man Promotion and negotiate to have the fight.
@ nondwe123
I agree with you, he is running away from jail term, he is full of WWE stunts.

Having said all that, I still believe Money M will beat Pac Man.

Talk is cheap. Floyd Mayweather Jr can say anything he wants but it will take more than talking to be able to outsmart Pac' in the ring
