Floyd Mayweather says Manny Pacquiao wears lifts in shoes to make him taller during staredowns

Floyd Mayweather says he knows of Manny Pacquiao's 'little secrets'

Floyd Mayweather has made an interesting and funny accusation about his May 2 opponent in Manny Pacquiao. According to him, the slightly shorter Filipino wears lifts to make himself look taller during staredowns.

"He wears the lifts in his shoes," Mayweather said during a media scrum earlier in the week. "I know all the little secrets he does. He wears the little lifts in his shoes so he can be a little taller, but he's entitled to do what he wants to do."

"I don't think he expected me to be so tall or big, even though I walk around at 147, I'm still a big welterweight.
