Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not chasing Manny Pacquiao

"I'm not chasing him, I'm not chasing no fighters," Mayweather said on ESPNews. "I don't have to chase Pacquiao. Pacquiao needs me, I don't need him. With or without Pacquiao, my legacy is I'm going down as one of the best."

Mayweather then said that he was a bigger draw than Pacquiao, and although he wouldn't discuss a potential split of the purse with Pacquiao, he certainly seems to be under the impression that he would deserve a bigger slice of the pay-per-view pie than Pacquiao if the two of them fight.

It's true that Floyd is not chasing Pacquiao, it is Pacquiao who's chasing him yet he's running away.
