Floyd Mayweather has seemingly ruled out a bout with Conor McGregor after spending the whole week talking it up.

Mayweather earlier offered McGregor $15 million to get in the boxing ring with him.

However the 49-0 boxer has backtracked and said that he is retired and isn't planning on coming back to the ring anytime soon.

He said: "All kinds of guys from other sports keep calling me out. If it ever happened it would be an easy win for me.

"But I want to concentrate on helping the young boxers I promote accomplish their dreams - and helping my children become the best people they can.

"People with an interest in me coming back are not thinking of my health and my family.

"There's no point me no longer being the sharpest tool in the box but having more money.

"And I look at how the great Muhammad Ali went on too long.

"I'm a businessman and I like making money but I'm retired now on my record of 49 and 0."

With all the talk going around earlier in the week you wouldn't be surprised if he was to start promoting the fight again in the near future.

However at this moment in time the fight between the two superstars seems along way from happening.
