With news Thursday that the super mega epic bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was called off, it was only a matter of time before one of the fighters blamed the other. Mayweather was the winner, releasing a statement today, saying, in part, "First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass."
"Throughout this whole process I have remained patient, but at this point I am thoroughly disgusted that Pacquiao and his representatives are trying to blame me for the fight not happening when clearly the blame is on them.
"First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass.
"Before the mediation, my team proposed a 14-day, no blood testing window leading up to the fight. But it was rejected. I am still proposing the 14-day window but he is still unwilling to agree to it, even though this is obviously a fair compromise on my part as I wanted the testing to be up until the fight and he wanted a 30-day cut-off. The truth is he just doesn't want to take the tests.
"In my opinion it is Manny Pacquiao and his team who are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever. I know the people will see through their smokescreens and lies. I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight."

mayweather is the punk
Mayweather is a punk through and through. He will NOT go down as the greatest, because he never fought the greatest. Not fighting Pacquiao is like not fighting Ali. Mayweather will be forgotten as the years pass.
I mean who did he really beat, okay. I’ll give you Zab Judah and gatti. But he beat de la hoya by decision at the end of de la hoya’s career. don’t even get me started on that marquez fight, marquez was out classed, had to come up in weight and had 55 career fights prior to the engagement!! He was past prime. Surprised mayweather didn’t make Julio César Chávez bust out of retirement in 2003 to fight him after he won the belt from Castillo.
Never fought Berto, mosley, clotty, margarito or cotto. He should have fought at least two of the dudes before having a shot at pacquiao.
Who is mayweather going fight next Don Flamenco, oops I mean Paulie Malignaggi?
