Leonard Ellerbe on Mayweather fighting Pacquiao: ‘Floyd ain’t thinking about none of this sh**'(VIDEO)

On Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao showed once again why he was one of the greatest fighters in this era when he defeated Keith Thurman by split-decision.  Pacquiao, 40, looked very fast and was impressive throughout the fight, which included a knockdown of Thurman in the first round.

Since losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2015, Pacquiao is 5-1 in his last six fights. The Filipino legend only defeat was a controversial decision loss to Jeff Horn, a fight that many thought Pacquiao won.

So,  what’s next for Pacquiao? Is it the winner of Spence-Porter? Could it be Danny Garcia, or could it be Mayweather?

Well, Pacquiao and Mayweather sparred on social media on Tuesday.

Here is what transpired:

Mayweather started with a right hand:

I find it real ironic how every time Pacquiao's name is brought up in the media, my name is always attached to it. This man's entire legacy and career has been built off its association with my name and it's about time you all stop using my brand for clout chasing and clickbait and let that man's name hold weight of its own. For years, all you heard was that " Floyd is afraid of Manny Pacquiao". But what's funny is, when we finally fought, I won so easily that everyone had to eat their words! All of the so called boxing experts, critics and jealous American "fan base" either went mute and ran for cover or made every excuse in the world as to why I should give Manny Pacquiao a rematch. My take on all this bullshit is that y’all are just upset that I broke Rocky Marciano's record and hate the fact that a Black, high school dropout outsmarted you all by beating all odds and retiring undefeated while maintaining all my faculties simply by making smart choices and even smarter investments. Ultimately, I will always have the last laugh!

Pacquiao responded with an overhand left:

Finally, Mayweather finished the conversation with a jab:

Who knows what is going through Mayweather’s mind, but if he wants to earn another massive payday, fighting Pacquiao would make a lot of sense. Mayweather last fought in 2017 against Conor McGregor, so he has not been very active, which could be an advantage for Pacquiao. However, I would never doubt Mayweather, even at age 42.

Pacquiao is expected to fight again in 2020, and Mayweather continues to insist that he is retired, so maybe this fight won’t happen after all. However, if Mayweather changes his mind, there is a large pot of gold waiting for him.

After Pacquiao’s thrilling victory over Thurman, we talked to Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, and according to Ellerbe, Mayweather is not worried about fighting again.

“Floyd ain’t thinking about none of this sh**,” Ellerbe told Paul Gant.

Leonard Ellerbe believes you don’t know the real Floyd Mayweather in the ring

Floyd Mayweather has been accused by some of being a boring fighter. Some fight fans and writers would like to see him engage more with other fighters in the ring. The CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe disagrees.

Ellerbe believes that many fight fans and writers have Mayweather all wrong:

“You guys don’t know nothing about Floyd. All these descriptions I see of him running around the ring scared. Y’all need to come down here and watch him box. I think the fights kind of dictate the way things go. The opponents,” Ellerbe said before Mayweather’s media workout on Thursday.

Over the years, we have heard about Mayweather’s hand problems, but Ellerbe said if Mayweather did not have those problems, he would be stopping guys:

“Floyd is a dog! If he needs to go in his bag of tricks, he can do all of that, and then some. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases over the years, he has naturally small hands, so that’s been a problem. I’ll tell you what,  if that man would not of had hand problems, I’m telling you all these guys around here from any of these weight classes 60(middleweight), all that. He stops all them guys with his skill set.”

Mayweather will battle Conor McGregor on August 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Will he stop McGregor in what he says is his last fight?

Mayweather’s last stoppage victory was against Victor Ortiz in 2011.
