Caught on tape: Mayweather punches Pacquiao t-shirt (video)

   Beatdown alert.

The verbal tussle has gone on for a few months now, and has since intensified since December.

   With Floyd Mayweather, Jr's (40-0) hostile and light scuffle with Shane Mosley (46-5) in New York earlier this week, "Money" took his offensive combinations to Manny Pacquiao today at a Los Angeles press conference.

Courtesy of ESNews, and on the video's 1:17 mark, Mayweather was shown throwing several punches at a defenseless Pacquiao t-shirt for several seconds.

The Filipino Pacquiao (50-3-2), who is preparing for a tough fight against Ghanaian Joshua Clottey (35-3) may perhaps answer Floyd inside the ring later this year.

For now, Pacquiao is training hard for his March 13th bout with Clottey in Cowboys Stadium.

   Ahh, but for now, talk is now mixed with physical action.  At least on Mayweather's side.

   The pre-fight contrast between the two could not be more starker.  Last night, Pacquiao sang George Benson's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'

   Popular celebrity site TMZ recently snapped a video of "Money May" in New York amassing a pile of cash inside his tour bus in front of loud fans.

   Continuing the theme of contrasts, Ghana-native was recently quoted that he liked Pacquiao because he was a nice person.

   While this appears to be a genuine expression of mutual and friendly affection by the African, the principles of warfare mandate that you do not infuriate the

enemy prior to battle.  Why make an opponent angry?

From his actions, Floyd Mayweather does not believe in Sun Tzu's lesson.  Should Pacquiao and Mayweather get inside the squared circle, one can only wonder how the Filipino boxer would attack his loud pugilistic opponent.

   Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was caught on tape punching a Pacquiao t-shirt.

Back to contrast.

   On Wednesday's taping of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' Pacquiao sang a George Benson song with the following lyrics.  (Contrasts, contrasts)

If I had to live without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I dont want to live without you.

Nothings gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love.

    go ahead floyd help yourself because thats all you can do with regards to beating up the pacman. Once you get in the ring with him, thats where the real beating takes place and the only difference is that it will be you in the recieving end!

    xyloboy is a coward

  • FUCKING SHIT COWARD 2 years ago

    I love how eager FMJ kakak! loves his Idol Manny. He can't express his love & desire being a Maniac, Instead it is the only way he could express it by kissing the t-shirt of Pacman. Wow how pity Floyda Gaweather! He is wearing a diaper he is making sal-sal in his room imagining Manny while plying himself. How Maniac this gay! KAKAK. Pride Chicken Joy! Baluga....

  • Xeliumnigatum 2 years ago

  • HELLBOY 2 years ago

    MAYWEATHER JR.ONLY PUNCH PACMAN T-SHIRT BUT MAYGAY CHICKEN RUN IN PERSON.

  • jgr 2 years ago

    Judging from this behaviour,I think Floyd really has a mental problem. He's really sick and needs immediate attention. he's so full of hatred on Pacquiao he acting really weird.

  • Banjo 2 years ago

    even on a colision course with shane, he still thinks about pacquiao, this guy is highly offended by pacquiao's presence.

    all his interviews all he talks about is pacquiao.

  • snakeyes 2 years ago

    gayweather is gayweather, hahahha. all you have to do is imagine punching manny in a picture.whahahah What a coward. To prove it wrong fight pacman in a modest way. hahah.

  • Bobby Pacquiao 2 years ago

    Shiny or cloudy, I will lift my brother through my prayers. And I pray he lose on May election. If we trully care about my brother, we will not vote for him.

    To my brother Manny,

    Sorry my brother. I'm just doing this for your own good. I hope you understand me and please stay away from Mr. Singson. He's nothing but a user . Don't trust this motha f!*k%n wife beater.

    I will not support this fight BOYCOTT THIS FIGHT lets force mayweather to fight pacquiao!

  • chakyun 2 years ago

    Mayweather tried very hard to avoid answering any kind of questions regarding Pacquiao. You can see in his recent interviews that no matter how much the interviewer ask the question, he doesn´t want to response. But you can see his obsession to Pacquiao right now!

  • gt600 2 years ago

  • Edison 2 years ago

    It's a good thing the fight didn't happen this early The Pacquiao-Clottey & FMJr.-Mosley fights will serve as a tune up match for both of them. hope there will be no upsets in this upcoming matches then if both do win then I hope these 2 kings of the ring will square out before the end 2010 and to know once and for all who's the best Moneyman or the Pacman . GOOD LUCK guys .

  • Chicago guy 2 years ago

    That's the only safe way chickenfloyd jr. can do to punch the picture of Pacquiao that will not punch back to knock him out.

  • Kidoy 2 years ago

  • manuelchia 2 years ago

    DESPERADO...why don't you come to your senses...harharharharharhahar

  • eloms 2 years ago

    Why fight an object that will not retaliate? Do it fqirly in Manny"s presence and outright response like three misiles will surely blow your proud face. And I"m sure tht once Mannyis two feet away from you, you will run like a dog who is afraid of his master and ran cowardly where his tail is between his legs.

  • juan 2 years ago

  • Ringside 2 years ago

    After watching the video Marv i dont think theres anyway Floyd is going to drop his demand for randam blood/urine testing i think they made that pretty clear and i don't think Pacquiao would all of a sudden agree to the tests after earlier declining...It's not going to happen...Pacfans need to move on

  • Speaking with sense 2 years ago

    The Mayweathers got the pronunciation wrong!
    A-side-meth is how they say "agimat" (uh-gee-math) which is nothing but a talisman.

  • HIF 2 years ago

    It should be, "Who are you cherry picking?".
