The Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather fight has started but not on the ring. The two boxers traded barbs on Twitter and Instagram amid the ongoing talks for their highly-anticipated face-off. The undefeated American boxer fired a shot first by posting an Instagram clip of Pacquiao's infamous loss to Manuel Marquez where he was knocked out on the sixth round.
In that video, Floyd trolled his Filipino rival by using the song Bite the Dust by Queen. The video ended with the lyrics 'I'm gonna get you, too.' This post by Mayweather has been retweeted for more than 2,000 times now. As expected, fans reacted violently on this post by the Money. They think Mayweather is just all bark and no bite. That he is the reason why the Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather fight talks always collapse.
Manny Pacquiao won't let this one go though. At least five hours after Mayweather's post, Manny posted on his Twitter account:
Run Silent Run Deep seems to be @FloydMayweather's response to my challenge. #KhanJob #FloydRhymesWithAvoid #SixKnockdowns @trboxing

According to Manny Pacquiao's camp, the Filipino fight er is very eager to fight Mayweather who he has been chasing for a long time.
"The talks are already going on. It is more of what the fans want. It's not about the pay (level). That's the least of his concerns," Pacquiao's business manager Eric Pineda told AFP.
