Retired boxer Floyd Mayweather has ruled out a bout with mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Conor McGregor.

The American five‑weight world champion said earlier this year he would want $100m to fight the 28‑year‑old Irish UFC star.

McGregor had previously said he was interested the contest, as long as Mayweather who retired from boxing in September 2015 could come up with the "appropriate funds" for the crossover fight.

McGregor is under contract with the UFC, and any potential fight against Mayweather would have had to involve a co‑promotion or the UFC's blessing.
