Floyd Mayweather Jr. may have toned down his antics as his age and stature have grown, but he can't suppress his class clown urges all the time. The world's best pound-for-pound boxer took to Twitter to make a dig at Manny Pacquiao's apparent desperation to fight him.

The "Christmas card to the world" depicts Mayweather offering $40 million to Pacquiao to make a superfight, with Manny declining and wanting a strictly 50-50 split. Then, a photo of Pacquiao laying unconscious after suffering a knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez can be seen followed by Pacquiao "begging" for Floyd to call him back.
The barb might be frustrating to fans of both fighters, as their matchup seems like it will never materialize. Even if it were to happen now, Pacquiao's stature's been diminished from its height several years ago, when both men claimed to be the pound-for-pound king's of the sport. Mayweather's made it clear that no fight between he and the Pacman will be made.
"We all know the Pacquiao fight, at this particular time, will never happen. And the reason the fight won't happen is because I will never do business with Bob Arum again in life," Mayweather said. He also doesn't believe Pacquiao's pay-per-view performances warrant his attention any longer.
"And I want to see Manny Pacquiao's real pay-per-view numbers." Get the numbers, he says, "from his last fight and compare them with my pay-per-view numbers with Canelo Alvarez."
A new name rumored to be next up for Mayweather is Marcos "El Chino" Maidana, who battered Floyd's "baby bro" Adrien Broner. Floyd Mayweather Sr. thinks that Maidana could be easy pickings for his son.
"It's gonna be like picking berries. You gotta be faster than Maidana man, to whip Floyd. A lot of stuff that Maidana does, Floyd will counter everything," Mayweather Sr. said.
