WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. is taking the battle to Twitter. The boxer has started attacking Manny Pacquiao by daring the Filipino superstar to accept his challenge for a May 5th battle at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mayweather is already set to fight on the May date, while Pacquiao has a scheduled meeting with his promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank, and the two of them will review the fighter's options for a late May/June return. Those options include Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Timothy Bradley and Lamont Peterson.

Last week, Mayweather had a 90-day jail sentence delayed until June 1. The boxer pled guilty in a December to a domestic abuse charge. If Mayweather doesn't fight Pacquiao in May, and surrenders to jail on June 1 - a possible Pacquiao fight will likely get pushed to the fall or 2013.

"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," Mayweather wrote.

looks like Floyd wants the Pac fight now, wouldn't surprise me if he sent this tweet out after he sent the contract to Guerrero tho haha

for the first time since the fight became an option i wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather and his people wanted the fight now. but really both Mayweather and Pac are just setting back and doing what their people tell them to do, i wouldn't be surprised if the fight happens 2013. it isn't happening in May and i really doubt it happens in November. i would say it doesn't happen at all but neither of them will pass up the kind of guarantee both fighters will get for the fight and on top of the guarantee they get PPV revenue.
