Giants, Dodgers both try to claim Manny Pacquiao's fandom

The Dodgers and Giants fight over who Manny Pacquiao better represents.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao finally agreed to a long-awaited fight on Friday, and the Twitter reaction was predictably swift.

Pacquiao was in San Francisco over the summer to throw out the first pitch at a Giants game, so the team took the opportunity to chime in on the announcement with a photo of Pacquiao, of course, wearing their jersey.

A nice PR move, however there was only one problem. It turns out Pacquiao threw out the first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game mere days later, and the Dodgers weren't going to let their interstate rival get away with claiming the fighter's fandom.

Awkward indeed.
