Mayweather said: “I’m not going to go in there with no former fighters, former world champions, putting more abuse on my body. I retired for a reason.

“I’m here to have fun and enjoy myself, sometimes three rounds, sometimes eight rounds, with guys that are going to help me entertain people.

“I’m not going to take punishment to the point to where I can barely walk or barely talk.

“Manny had a great career, but boxing retired Manny, Manny didn’t retire from boxing. There’s a difference.

“Of course, if I were Manny Pacquiao, would I be chasing an exhibition with Floyd Mayweather to get a payday? Absolutely I would.

“But at this particular time, I love fighting guys that are 15-0, 8-0, guys that are older, like myself, or YouTubers or MMA guys.

“I will continue to do what I do and dictate and control.”
