Floyd Mayweather Jnr has accused Manny Pacquiao of rank hypocrisy after seeing his name repeatedly pop-up at Pacquiao's press conference to promote his November fight with Juan Manuel Marquez.

Mayweather claims he has been asked by the Pacquiao camp not to discuss their man, and has been left frustrated after watching the Filipino fail to return the favour.

Now the unbeaten American believes Pacquiao is trading off his name, even though he has no interest in a super-fight to determine the planet's pound for pound king.

"As long as he's attached to my name, he's going to make great paydays," Mayweather told fighthype.com. "As long as he can keep fighting Floyd Mayweather's leftovers or fighting the fighters that [I have] already beaten, the media has to really pay attention.

"The guy says: 'You know, I'm suing Floyd Mayweather for saying I done this or done that,' [and is] still attaching [his] name to me. Y'all [the Pacquiao camp] still speaking on me, but y'all saying you don't want me speaking on you guys at all. I spoke on that situation enough. There's no need for me to even speak on it because it's useless."
