Manny Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao was called out byFloyd Mayweather Jr., literally.

Since the boxer recently found out his prison sentences was delayed, Mayweather took to Twitter to challenge the Filipino boxer.

"Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see," he wrote on his Twitter page earlier today.

"My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk."

Those are definitely fighting words.

Mayweather already had a date locked in to fight an unamed opponent on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Last week, a Las Vegas judge gave Maryweather until June 1 to serve his 90-day jail sentence for a domestic violence case.

The boxer pleaded guilty to attacking his ex-girlfriend while two of their children watched in September 2010.

According to the Washington Post, the extension was given so the boxer could train and participate in the May 5 match.

The judge felt that the city and the hotel would ahve lost millions of dollars if reschduling had to be made.
