Former five-weight world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. responded to former eight-weight champion Manny Pacquiao's challenge.
We had the opportunity to fight Pacquiao when it really mattered. I went out there and got crazy money. We had a chance to fight, and you know the result. Now I'm focused on the show and entertainment and I wish Manny to be the best at what he does.

Pacquiao, 44, had his last fight in December 2022 in Seoul against South Korean blogger DK Yoo. That confrontation went the whole distance and ended with Manny winning by unanimous decision of the judges.
In November 2022, Mayweather fought Deji Olatunji in an exhibition fight held in Abu Dhabi. Floyd won that fight by TKO. Floyd, 45, has 50 wins (27 KOs) and no defeats.
