Floyd Mayweather has tweeted these pictures of Manny Pacquiao after the Filipino fighter's public dig at the apparently scripted nature of Mayweather's 'All Access' behind-the-scenes TV series.
The images show Pacquiao's dramatic defeat at the hands of Juan Manuel Márquez in 2012.
....Miss Pac Man is broke and desperate for a pay day. Your Pay-Per-View numbers are a joke. ???????????????? pic.twitter.com/qmhOBvibG5

Mayweather has admitted that much of the promotional series depicting his preparations for his comfortable victory over Marcos Maidana was heavily scripted. In one episode, Mayweather was seen in the company of some of his entourage who appeared to be smoking marijuana. He has since claimed that the scene was acted out and no actual drugs were used. According to the AP, he said:
It wasn’t real marijuana. It’s all about entertainment ... I don’t want to just sell a fight. I want to sell a lifestyle.
Unimpressed by this attempt to explain things, Pacquiao Tweeted the following comment two days ago, which has led to Mayweather's mocking riposte.
.@FloydMayweather's testimony to the commission on All Access' authenticity tells me everything I need to know about his desire to fight me.

For some time now, boxing fans have been hoping the pair can settle their long-standing differences and arrange a bout, but it seems increasingly unlikely to ever take place.
