Mayweather finished talking about Pacman

HOLLYWOOD: For once, Floyd Mayweather had nothing to say about Manny Pacquiao, deflecting questions on the Filipino fight king Thursday at a news conference to promote his fight against Miguel Cotto.

Two days after he said Pacquiao wasn't "one of the sharpest knives in the drawer," Mayweather insisted he just wanted to talk about his super welterweight world title fight against World Boxing Association champ Cotto coming up on May 5.

Mayweather was also reluctant to discuss New York Knicks star Jeremy Lin but said he had no regrets about recent tweets in which he said rising NBA star Lin was getting "all the hype because he's Asian."

"I never regret anything," Mayweather said. "I am not here to talk about Jeremy Lin. I am not fighting Jeremy Lin.

"It is not Mayweather versus Pacquiao or Mayweather versus Jeremy Lin, it is Mayweather versus Miguel Cotto."

Mayweather was criticized for his Lin comments, but the 35-year-old said he doesn't plan to change his outspoken ways. (AFP)
