Floyd Mayweather Jr has called out Conor McGregor and urged the Irishman's representatives to to open talks over a potential billion dollar superfight.
The undefeated five-division former World champion played down reports yesterday that the two fighters had agreed terms for a mouthwatering showdown.
However, Mayweather has welcomed negotations between the pair's management teams once McGregor "takes care of business".
He said: "Listen, Conor McGregor, if you really want to get this fight done... take care of your business with the UFC and then have your people get in touch with my people."
The 39-year-old had reportedly been in discussions to take on the UFC's pound-for-pound superstar McGregor in a boxing ring, but took to social media on Tuesday to put the record straight.
"There seems to be several rumours floating around the media recently however, let the record show, there hasn't been any deals made in regards to a fight between myself and any other fighters," Mayweather said in a statement on social media.
"I am happily retired and enjoying life at this time. If any changes are to come, be sure that I will be the first to let the world to know."
