Manny Pacquiao is putting the full-court press on Floyd Mayweather to try pressuring the undefeated fighter to step into the ring with him.
On Tuesday, Pac-Man called out Mayweather via Twitter.
I can easily beat @FloydMayweather, I believe that.

If you really care about the fans, you will fight. If you care about yourself… you won't fight. #MannySmile

Pacquiao is really putting the heat on Mayweather to make the fight happen. His promoter Bob Arum said that Manny agreed to terms for the fight (terms favorable to Mayweather) and said they were waiting on Floyd. They’re doing everything possible to make sure the public knows it’s Floyd who is scared. Manny also has been trying to bait Floyd with his call outs.
This is certainly a much different tune compared to what we are used to seeing. Remember a few years ago when it was Floyd doing the tweeting and talking about how Manny was ducking him? Now who’s afraid?
It sounds like Floyd is going to end up fighting someone else — possibly Miguel Cotto again — rather than Pacquiao.
