"He's not fighting Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather's not going to fight him, man. It's never going to happen. The biggest fight anyone ever talked about at the time was Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather.

Even if it was pure boxing it doesn't mean that he won't throw a kick. If you're Floyd why would you even risk that?"
