Manny Pacquiao, who faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2015’s mega-fight, threw out a final verbal “punch” before Mayweather’s fight against Conor McGregor on Aug. 26.

Mayweather tweeted: “Talking doesn’t win fights.”

In response, Pacquiao took a shot at him on Twitter: “but running does ;) God bless on your fight tonight!”

He’s likely referring to Mayweather’s elusive and defensive boxing style---which has drawn both criticism and praise from many.

Mayweather defeated Pacquiao via unanimous decision in an overdue fight called “The Fight of the Century.”
