Mayweather renews challenge to Pacquiao on Twitter

January 18, 2012 8:44am

American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Wednesday (Manila time) renewed his challenge to Filipino boxing icon and Sarangani Rep. Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao to face him in the ring on May 5.

In a series of posts on his Twitter account, the controversial Mayweather promised to give Pacquiao an "a#s-whooping."

"I'm ready to f!ght Pacquiao 5/5/12... Bob Arum know the date can't change, I have my guarantee... call Schaefer & Al and stop lying to the public," he said.

Schaefer refers to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, who has represented Mayweather in past f!ghts. Al, on the other hand, likely refers to Al Haymon, Mayweather's manager.

He also noted that while Jan. 16 was the birth anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jan. 17 is the birthday of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, "May 5th is Pacquiao[..] whooping day."

On the other hand, Mayweather questioned critics who said at first that he was ducking the f!ght, and now saying he is begging for it.

"First They say I'm Ducking the f!ght. But now it seems like I'm begging for the f!ght.. What is going on?" he said.

Last week, Mayweather challenged Pacquiao to a May 5 bout, but Bob Arum, Top Rank Promotions chairman and promoter of Pacquiao, expressed his desire for the f!ght to take place in an outdoor arena in Las Vegas, built for the sole purpose of the f!ght.

Such an arena would not be finished in time for Mayweather's May 5 f!ght date, but could raise as much as $30 million dollars more in revenue.

Another issue preventing the f!ght from happening is the split of the revenue. In an interview with GMA News, Pacquiao expressed a desire for a 50-50 split of the purse, saying that if Mayweather agreed to that stipulation, "there will be no problem."

Arum returned to the United States last Saturday, after spending less than a week with Pacquiao in the Philippines. The two have allegedly reached an agreement as to who Pacquiao's next opponent will be, though Arum has yet to disclose that information. — Adrian Dy/LBG/RSJ, GMA News
