When Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were negotiating the terms of their May 2 fight during a private meeting back in late January, Mayweather didn't pull any punches when it came to putting Pacquiao in his place. He came right out and let him know that he is an "A-side" fighter while Pacquiao is a "B-side" fighter. And he said it to his face.

Pacquiao talked about it during a recent interview with Michelle Beadle. He also talked about the terms of the fight, the fact that the meeting with Mayweather wouldn't have happened if a flight he was taking to the Philippines that night hadn't been canceled, and other things related to the fight. Check out the full HBO interview in the clip above.
