Manny Pacquiao believes he has Floyd Mayweather Jr. figured out. The Filipino boxing champion has been trying to get Money May to fight him for years, but it has yet to happen.
Even after all this time, with boxing fans tired of hearing about a match that may never happen, if it does materialize it would shatter all previous pay-per-view sales records.
During an interview with NJ.com, Pacquiao says Floyd can never be considered the best until he steps into the ring with him.
"Why he will not fight me? Well, I think he is worried about his (undefeated) record. He talks about his zero losses. The zero that means so much to him means nothing when measured against who he fought. You talk pound-for-pound best, or undefeated champion. If you don’t defend against the best, none of that means anything."
As far as Mayweather's non stop chattering, Pac Man believes it has to do with PBF not being the sharpest tool in the box.
"I think I finally understand him:…what he says,…how he acts,…and I don’t like it. But what l learned and heard from him, well, I realize why he is like that. I understand sometimes when the people are not educated they just talk to talk. He sets a very bad example."
Ouch..

Cee Lo Green leaves Los Angeles Superior Court after a hearing Friday, Aug. 29, 2014.
LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — Cee Lo Green pleaded no contest Friday to one felony count of furnishing ecstasy to a woman during a 2012 dinner in Los Angeles and was sentenced to serve probation and community service.
The Grammy-winning singer also entered a special plea in which he maintained his innocence in the case and that prevents his no contest plea from being used against him in civil court. The drug case could be used against Green in criminal court if he faces another drug offense.
Superior Court Judge Mark Young sentenced the 39-year-old singer to three years of formal probation and 45 days of community service. Green, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, will be allowed to travel for work and permitted to see a private physician for drug and alcohol counseling, the judge said.
Green also can serve his community service through MusiCares Foundation, an affiliate of the organization that presents the Grammy Awards.
Green entered the plea just before a scheduled preliminary hearing during which prosecutors would have had to show there was enough evidence for the case to go to trial.
Prosecutors rejected a rape charge against Green when he was charged with the felony drug charge in October 2013. His attorney Blair Berk has said Green had consensual sex with the woman he gave ecstasy to during the July 2012 dinner.
No civil case has been filed over the incident in Los Angeles, court records show.
Green won a Grammy for the hit "Forget You" and performed as part of the duo Gnarls Barkley. He appeared as a judge on the NBC competition show "The Voice," but left the show after he was charged.

Suge Knight was released from a Los Angeles hospital on Wednesday, August 27, three days after being shot six times at a pre-VMA party.
TMZ reports that the 49-year old former Death Row Records CEO, will have no long term effects from the shooting. He just needs to keep his wounds clean to avoid infection and won't have to go through rehab.
Suge was injured inside the 1Oak nightclub in West Hollywood at a Chris Brown-hosted party. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Corina debunked a rumor that Suge was shot because he had a bounty on his head for the 1997 murder of The Notorious B.I.G.
"We've heard nothing about that, no connection to that," Corina said, according to the New York Daily News.
The police are looking at suspects with Blood and Crip gang affiliations, as well as others. Hours of surveillance footage from the club is being studied as part of the investigation.
"He went straight home and is going to heal up in a few days and be stronger than ever," friend Keith Middlebrook told The News Wednesday. "I talked to him today. He's tough. When he was shot, he walked out of the building. He's a pretty tough cat."
Noiva do Cordeiro, Brazil is a small town with a unique twist that is getting it a lot of attention. There are almost no men within the town's borders.
According to Yahoo, Noiva do Cordeiro's 600 residents are almost all single women between the ages of 20-25. Husbands are not welcome except on weekends and once sons turn 18, they are encouraged to leave.
"The only men we single girls meet are either married or related to us…. We all dream of falling in love and getting married. But we like living here and don't want to have to leave the town to find a husband." says 23-year old resident Nelma Fernandes.
The motivation for the way the town is set up is a direct result of its history: The town was founded in 1891 by Maria Senhorinha de Lima, who had been excommunicated as an adultress after leaving a man she had been forced to marry. Over time, she was joined by other single women and female-headed families, and the insular society came into being. In the 1940s, an evangelical pastor, Anisio Pereira, took one of the town's 16-year-old girls as his wife and founded a church there, imposing strict puritanical rules. When he died in 1995, the town's women determined that they would never again be subject to male domination, and they dismantled Pereira's church.
The town hopes to attract more men by inviting them to come visit. Interest is very high gauging by it's website, which has crashed due to all of the traffic.
However, if allowed to move to Noiva do Cordeiro, men must follow all rules set forth by the women of the town, including religion, farming, town planning and other guidelines.
Now that this story is out there are probably quite a few men outside of Brazil brushing up on their Portuguese.

Oprah Winfrey has been cast to play Richard Pryor's grandmother in an upcoming biopic about the legendary comedian. As previously reported, Mike Epps landed the role of Pryor.
Pryor's widow, Jennifer, told TMZ that Oprah lobbied hard for the role of Marie Carterbecause she wanted to show another facet of her acting ability.
Carter raised Pryor after his mother abandoned him at the age of 10. She was very cruel to him. Pryor was exposed to a lot of things a child shouldn't see because his grandmother was the madam of a brothel in Peoria, Illinois.
