Manny Pacquiao says fellow superstar Floyd Mayweather does not want to fight him.

The pair are widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet and a meeting has been much touted since Mayweather's decision to come out of retirement earlier this year.

A possible March 13, 2010 date has been suggested, but Pacquiao, currently training for his November 14 fight with Miguel Cotto, told the Associated Press: "I don't think it's going to happen.

"I'm sure he doesn't want to fight."

A bout between the Filipino and Mayweather, who beat Juan Manuel Marquez in his comeback fight in September, could be one of the biggest grossing of all time and cash is what motivates the figher nicknamed 'Money', according to the 'Pac Man'.

Pacquiao added: "Boxing for him is like a business. He doesn't care about the people around him watching.

"He doesn't care if the fight is boring, as long as the fight is finished and he gets money.

"I want people to be happy. You have a big responsibility as a boxer."
