Manny Pacquiao landed a jab on Floyd Mayweather before Saturday’s megafight against Conor McGregor. 

Mayweather took a shot at McGregor with a tweet on the morning of the fight but Pacquiao used it as an opportunity to mock Mayweather for his passive fighting style. 

Even though he has a point, Pacquiao deleted the tweet.

The Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was the last fight with as much hype as this one, but Mayweather’s defensive strategy left many observers disappointed. None were more disappointed than Pacquiao, though, who lost the bout by unanimous decision.

Mayweather, however, employed a more aggressive style on Saturday night against McGregor, going on the offensive to earn a 10th-round TKO victory.
