Manny Pacquiao was never going to get much sympathy from the man who beat him, was he?

Floyd Mayweather has taken a not-so-veiled dig at the Filipino fighter after Pacquiao claimed that he had injured a shoulder in the run-up to the so-called Fight of the Century on Saturday night. The bout has been almost universally criticised for what many considered a lack of action but Pacquiao's shoulder injury, which we are led to believe is a torn rotator cuff, would go some way to explaining why he failed to press the action to the best of his ability. Mayweather, though, has put down Pacquiao's claims as a mere "excuse" on his Instagram account today. https://instagram.com/p/2U_5aux3Y8/?taken-by=floydmayweather Expect this one to run and run as the pair look to reignite the trash talk and get some bit of interest going in a rematch down the line.
