Former five-division world champion and American boxer Floyd Mayweather has commented on the potential rematch with Filipino Manny Pacquiao.
In January, Pacquiao stated that a second fight with Mayweather could take place in 2024 in the Japanese Rizin league.
In an interview with The Pivot Podcast on YouTube Mayweather said:
When Manny Pacquiao spoke about that, he shouldn’t have because there’s a time and a place for everything. Just by him saying my name they gave me a check for $4 million. I don’t like to throw certain individuals under the bus but remember, he got famous because they said he could be the guy that could possibly dethrone the king. Did it happen? Absolutely not.
