For years the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao has been on the minds of boxing fans everywhere. But because of what Pacquiao reps call excuses and the jail time Mayweather has been forced to serve the fight has not been scheduled.

Pacquiao claims that Mayweather has been making up excuses and rumors that he is taking illegal steroids. Pacquiao filed papers agianst Mayweather back in August in Nevada as part of a defamation suit, saying for a judge to issue him the winner and make Mayweather pay in damages.

Well now since Mayweathers date has been moved back to June to serve his time in jail for Domestic Violence charges against his ex-girlfriend Mayweather called out Pacquiao to fight on his Facebook and Twitter:

"Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see. My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk."

Pacquiao is currently in his home country of the Philippines and has not replied to Mayweather's challenge.

The fight would be set to happen on May 5th in Las Vegas.
