Pacquiao: 'Money' won't fight me

Published Jul. 29, 2013 1:00 a.m. ET

Manny Pacquiao is sick of chasing Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The star welterweight says he’s stopped hoping for a bout against “Money” Mayweather.

"I've stopped thinking about him because I don't think he will fight me. I've been waiting four years already," Pacquiao told Boxing News.

Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is still holding out hope that the superfight might one day take place.

"I still want the biggest fight in the world," Roach told On The Ropes Boxing Radio. "I want Mayweather Jr. to step up and fight Manny Pacquiao.

"He said Pacquiao is washed up. Get in the ring and we will see."

Pacquiao hasn’t fought since a shocking loss to Juan Manuel Marquez, who knocked out Pac Man in one of the most eye-opening stoppages last December.

Mayweather continues to add to his unblemished mark, notching his latest win against Robert Guerrero on May 4.
