Floyd Mayweather has claimed rival Manny Pacquiao was "retired by boxing" after defeat to Yordenis Ugas saw him hang up the gloves.
Mayweather has been fighting in exhibitions since his retirement in 2017, a career which saw him go through 50 consecutive victories without tasting defeat. During his time in the professional ranks, he touched gloves with Pacquiao in a bumper showdown that became the highest-selling event in pay-per-view history.
The Filipino continued fighting afterwards but retired last year after losing in spectacular fashion to Ugas in his welterweight world title clash. And Mayweather believes he was able to spot the right time to halt his appearances in competitive fights, and make a switch to the exhibition circuit.
