Manny Pacquiao on Floyd Mayweather: Let him enjoy retirement

LAS VEGAS?With the world title fight against Keith Thurman just days away, Manny Pacquiao doesn?t seem to be too inclined about a potential rematch with longtime rival Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather hasn?t fought in an official boxing match in almost two years after announcing his retirement following a 10th round stoppage of MMA star Conor McGregor in a crossover fight.

And right now, Pacquiao has no plans of disrupting Mayweather?s post-retirement life.

?I don?t know. I?m active and he?s retired so I think we don?t need to bother him,? said Pacquiao with a smile as he sat sitting beside Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. ?Let him enjoy his retirement.?

Last September, the two legends met at a music festival in Tokyo, Japan, sparking new talks of a rematch that eventually flamed out.
