Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao decided to "strike while the iron is hot," calling out his boxing rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. "not educated" and that "He sets a very bad example." In this interview by NJ.com, Manny says, "I think I finally understand him... what he says... how he acts... and I don't like it."
Manny goes on and adds, "When people are not educated they just talk to talk. He sets a very bad example."
Meanwhile, it was just a week ago when famous rapper 50 Cent posted a video on his Instagram account, calling out Floyd Mayweather Jr. for an unusual ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) challenge: to read a whole page out of a "Harry Potter" book and in turn he will donate $750,000 to any charity Floyd wishes.
Not wasting any time, 50 Cent followed up on the challenge by posting another Instagram video stating that 'Harry Potter' might be too hard for Floyd Jr. and reading a page out of 'Cat in the Hat' by Dr. Seuss would be acceptable.
Just after a day of the allegations that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a hard time reading, there was a video uploaded to Youtube that confirms the allegations. In this video, it takes 10 seconds for the "Breakfast Club" host 'Charlemagne' to recite a "drop," while Floyd Mayweather Jr. struggled to do so.
It's no secret that there is bad blood between the two superstar boxers with various allegations of illegal substances, purse money, and so on being the reason why the two have yet to face each other in the ring. Fans of both boxers have even entered the strong rivalry and are fighting each other.
That being said, this might all change since Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank and Manny Pacquiao's promoter says that Flyod vs Manny could happen twice in a year in this interview with the Daily Mail. He goes on to add that, "Both networks want this to happen. All signs seem to point to a first fight early next year."
Will fans finally get the answer of who is better than who? Will the Filipino boxing legend prove once and for all he is number one in the ring? Or will Floyd Mayweather Jr. stay undefeated and make history?
