Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone cleared that eight-division champ Manny Pacquiao won't be part of the upcoming sequel to the Expendables movie franchise, stating that the Filipino boxing icon isn't even in his plans in the first place.

Stallone, a certified boxing fanatic, had a chanced interview with TMZ, and on the spot he confirmed that Pacquiao won't join the star-studded casts for the Expendables 4.

Although The Hollywood star considered the Pacman a great fighter, he just thinks wasn't a cut for acting, especially for a high-budget blockbuster movie like the Expendables.

"Pacquiao was never gonna be in it," said Stallone, who managed to recruit Mixed Martial Arts star Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz and Randy Couture in the past.

However, Stallone jested that Pacquiao might get heavy consideration if he somehow won his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. last May 3 at MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Pacquiao, who reportedly bagged between $130 million to $140 million after the astronomic PPV and Live Gate success of his Fight of the Century showdown with Money May, returned to his home country, Philippines, on Tuesday.

He has been facing several law suits from boxing fans and the Nevada Athletic Commission for not disclosing his shoulder injury days before the fight, but Pacquiao is confident this legal mess will be resolved.

Despite the clear-cut outcome of the fight favoring Mayweather as the victor via unanimous decision, the 36-year old boxer still insisted that he won the fight by two points after reviewing video tapes of the bout.

He's not expected to hit the boxing gym for the next four months after undergoing shoulder injury, though he's still optimistic a rematch with the Money Man will take place in 2016.
