Mayweather, Pacquiao trade barbs on social media

Familiar foes Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are back at it.

The welterweight legends traded shots on social media late Tuesday, with Mayweather kicking things off with a lengthy Instagram post suggesting Pacquiao's entire legacy is the result of the 40-year-old Filipino's association to Mayweather.

"I find it real ironic how every time Pacquiao's name is brought up in the media, my name is always attached to it," Mayweather wrote.

"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," Mayweather continued.

"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."

Mayweather's post prompted these quick responses from his nemesis:

Just fight already, guys.
