Floyd Mayweather Jr. is still mad at Manny Pacquiao for claiming that a shoulder injury led to the Filipino’s loss in their showdown last May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This was evident in a video posted on Instagram by Mayweather that showed the unbeaten American confronting and punching a dummy, presumably Pacquiao, and slapping it in the end.

“So Manny, you are here telling people that I didn’t win fair and square. That this little arm is messed up. Is that right…ha? Talk to me,” said Mayweather, who earlier put a hand on the mannequin’s left shoulder and then slapped the dummy twice.
Mayweather later commented on his post that he was just “having fun, joking and living life.”
The Inquirer sought Pacquiao for comment until late last night but aides said the fighting congressman from Sarangani was busy taping a sports show for the GMA 7 network.
Arum sues Floyd promoter
Meanwhile, Top Rank Inc. headed by Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, has filed a $100 million suit against Al Haymon, Mayweather’s manager, for “rigging the boxing industry,” according to nydailynews.com.

In the anti-trust lawsuit filed at the US District Court in Los Angeles, Arum also sought an injunction to stop Haymon from hindering the business of boxing promoters such as Top Rank and Roc Nation, rapper Jay-Z’s promotions firm.
