LOOK: Floyd posts photo of hotel meeting with Pacquiao
MANILA, Philippines - Outspoken boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has posted a photo of his recent hotel meeting with Manny Pacquiao online.
Mayweather apparently posted the photo to prove that he's exerting efforts to get the mega fight with Pacquiao done.
But it also looked like a marketing ploy to encourage fans to download the online application @Shots, where the photo was first posted.
"I set up this meeting with Manny Pacquiao to get this fight done but they will continue to tell the public it's us and that's NOT TRUE," said Mayweather in the caption.
"So while we wait y'all go download @Shots ASAP so I can keep you all updated on the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight, that we are trying to make happen."
Mayweather was referring to the hurdles the negotiations are going through.
Both fighters have reportedly agreed to fight in principle, but their networks HBO and Showtime still have to thresh out the airing and replay deal.
Mayweather personally met Pacquiao at courtside during an NBA game between the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks last week.
A subsequent meeting took place when the American boxer visited Pacquiao's hotel room after the game.
