Mayweather taunted Manny Pacquiao ahead of their eagerly-anticipated
super-fight on Saturday, telling him he should be earning more money.However, the purse split is 60-40 in Mayweather’s favour and the American legend said his rival had not been looked after properly.
Mayweather said: “If he would have worked with us, he would have made $100 million (£90 million)”.
“Financially, he hasn’t been treated right for this fight. And [this fight] is all about the money.
“Saturday is just work, I’ll just do what I do. But I’ll make upwards of $200 million for this fight, which is $50 million apiece for my kids. So it was a smart move.”
Pacquiao Excited And Confident
The 38-year-old American said he instigated the initial meeting in Pacquiao’s Miami hotel suite – which Mayweather said was not up to his exacting standards.
Mayweather also reiterated his intention to retire after another fight in September, even though two more victories would leave him equal with heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano’s 49-fight unbeaten record.
Meanwhile, Manny Pacquiao has said that he is 100 per cent confident of beating Mayweather.
“Don’t get nervous, I’m the one fighting, so relax.”
“I am very excited and my confidence is 100 per cent.
“Any time I am the underdog, I like that. It means my killer instinct and focus is fully there. This is the moment I believe he will experience his first loss.”
