Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather called out Manny Pacquiao on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, telling his two million followers that he’s ready to fight the Filipino on May 5th.
“Manny Pacquiao I’m calling you out let’s fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see,” tweeted Mayweather. “My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk.”
The undefeated Mayweather is widely considered the premier boxer in the world but until recently the public perception was Floyd had been avoiding Pacquiao. That changed after Pacquiao’s third fight against Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez in November. Pacquiao eked out a split decision in a close fight that many believe Marquez won. Mayweather handled Marquez easily in their 2009 meeting at welterweight, shifting the odds back strongly in his favor should the two ever meet.
