Manny Pacquiao taunts welterweight rival Floyd Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao has reacted to Floyd Mayweather's latest taunts by urging the American to 'read the Bible'.

Mayweather, unbeaten in 47 fights, recently posted pictures of Pacquiao being knocked down in his previous fights along with the tagline: "Miss Pac Man is broke for a pay day."

But the 35-year-old Filipino, who has won 56 times and lost five of his professional bouts, was unfazed and stated: "I'm not affected by it. I pity him and I pray that someday he would change his ways.

"He (Mayweather) should fear God. For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"

Pacquiao defends his WBO welterweight title on November 22 when he faces American Chris Algieri in Macau.

Pacquiao and Mayweather - arguably the two biggest names in the sport - had been scheduled to meet in 2009 before disagreements over blood tests scuppered the deal.
