T-Mobile CEO John Legere To Sprint Chief Marcelo Claure: 'You Mad Bro?'

If you’ve ever wanted to see two business titans duke it out, Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure and T-Mobile chief John Legere gave the public a front row seat on Twitter. It was more of a schoolyard fight, rather than an all-out brawl. But both men had some choice words to say to each other.
The whole ordeal started Wednesday evening, when Legere sent out a tweet, poking fun at Sprint’s efforts to revamp their plan structure with its “all-in” campaign -- plans that cover unlimited talk, text and data for one price. For the most part it was just another one of the thousands of trash-talking tweets Legere has sent out through his Twitter account.
I give credit to @sprint for swinging the bat when they do – but #allin is a swing and a miss, guys!! #sprintlikehell http://t.co/qDxDoK3BY9

Claure didn’t take too kindly to it and responded with his own rant. But since Twitter limits posts to 140 characters, it spanned four lengthy tweets.
@JohnLegere I am so tired of your Uncarrier bullshit when you are worse than the other two carriers together. Your cheap misleading lease

@JohnLegere imitation is a joke. You trick people to believe that they have a 15 dollar iphone lease payment when it's not true. You tell

@JohnLegere them they can upgrade up to 3x but you don't tell them the price goes up to 27 dollars when they do. You say one thing

Hours after Claure finished what he had to say, Legere picked a few choice words for his response.
.@marceloclaure you mad bro?

Isn’t it cute that Marcelo’s been following me on twitter since joining? Now he’s starting to sound like me to get attention - it’s working!

Admittedly, this isn’t the first time the duo clashed on Twitter. In February, Legere started a flame war with Claure after Sprint aired an ad which offered to cut the bills of AT&T and Verizon customers in half if they switched, according to CNN Money.

@marceloclaure @sprint Oh look! You learned how to use the “respond” button. I thought you only knew how to use the retweet button.
