Mayweather told the paper that he wants to fight Pacquiao and it disturbs him that the Filipino won’t admit he wants the fight as well.

"Manny Pacquiao is the fighter and every time someone asks him if he wants to fight me, he says it is up to his promoter, he’s going to take a vacation, whatever the answer is," USA Today quoted Mayweather saying on Monday.

"I have yet to hear him actually say, ‘yes I want to fight Mayweather.’ We are the fighters and if one fighter is talking about fighting another fighter, then they should just come out and say it.

"Manny Pacquiao doesn’t say anything directly about fighting me because he might just know it’s not a fight he can win."

Mayweather’s challenge comes just days after Pacquiao’s stunning systematic demolition of Puerto Rican champ Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.

Kung gumagawa ako ng kalokohan, bakit kasama ko ang daddy ko (actor Mat Ranillo ) doon sa relief goods distribution?” Wonder what Director Dominic Zapata , Krista’s boyfriend of four years, say about this rumor. And do we see Ara Mina heaving a sigh of relief now that Manny is no longer being linked to her but to Krista, who’s her rival over the affection of Allen Dizon in the new movie “Marino”...
