Manny Pacquiao has continued to talk about Floyd Mayweather Jr., shrugging off criticism from the No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer.
Pacquiao, according to CBS Sports, said that he feels sorry for Mayweather.
He said Mayweather is “uneducated person,” adding that he is “praying for him.”
“I’m not angry at him. I feel sorry for him because he acts like an uneducated person. It’s pitiful to me and I’m praying for him. He should fear God,” he said.
He then quoted the New Testament, saying: “For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”
Mayweather and Pacquiao took shots at each other last week after Mayweather admitted to the Nevada State Athletic Commission that his “All Access” show was essentially faked to sell his fight with Marcos Maidana.
“.@FloydMayweather’s testimony to the commission on All Access’ authenticity tells me everything I need to know about his desire to fight me,” Pacquiao later tweeted.
After that Mayweather, posted an Instagram photo of Pacquiao getting knocked out in his last fight with Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012. “….Miss Pac Man is broke and desperate for a pay day. Your Pay-Per-View numbers are a joke,” Mayweather tweeted.
Pacquiao is slated to fight Chris Algieri in Macau, while Mayweather hasn’t made a decision on who to fight next.
“I’m gonna go and talk to my team and see what the future holds,” Mayweather said after he beat Maidana, ESPN reported. “I don’t know who I’m fighting in May but I expect to fight in May. Manny Pacquiao needs to focus on the guy in front of him. Once he gets past him, he can look to the future. If the Pacquiao fight presents itself, let’s make it happen.”
