Before the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, P. Diddy and Mark Wahlberg placed a friendly wager worth $250,000.

Sadly for Wahlberg, he sided with the wrong boxer — and Mayweather won't stop rubbing it in.

In an interview with Dan Patrick on Friday, the movie star was asked if he actually wrote a check to P. Diddy following the fight. Instead of answering the question right off the bat, Walhberg gave even more insight into Mayweather's psychotic ways.

"You know, the first call I got at 5 in the morning, I thought was going to be from Diddy," said Wahlberg. "It was from Floyd. And, you know, he's been rubbing it in ever since."

Wahlberg added that rather than giving Diddy the chunk of change he owed, he sent $250,000 worth of AQUAhydrate to his house. If that wasn't weird enough, apparently Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, delivered it.

What does this mean? Well, Wahlberg is more than likely bending the truth. But Mayweather calling a celebrity in the wee hours of the morning to rub something in his face sure sounds like something he'd do.
