Floyd Mayweather declares no rematch for 'sore loser' Manny Pacquiao

Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith on Tuesday that he would be willing to put off his planned September retirement to grant Manny a rematch next year , said he has changed his mind.

"Did I text Stephen A. Smith and say I will fight him again? Yeah, but I change my mind. At this particular time, no, because he's a sore loser and he's a coward," Mayweather told Showtime in an interview taped this week that will air Saturday night (9 ET) during the network's replay of last Saturday night's megafight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"If you lost, accept the loss and say, 'Mayweather, you were the better fighter,'" Mayweather continued.

Al Bello/Getty ImagesMayweather won a unanimous decision in the welterweight world championship fight, which will go down as the richest in boxing history and one of the most anticipated fights ever.
After the fight, Pacquiao said he went into the ring with a right shoulder injury that hampered his performance. Pacquiao had arthoscopic surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles to repair what his surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, termed a "significant tear" to his rotator cuff.

Pacquiao will be out of the ring for nine months to a year, but Mayweather, who planned to fight again in September in the final bout of his six-fight Showtime/CBS contract and then retire, told Smith he would fight Pacquiao in a rematch next spring once he had healed.
Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs), however, is annoyed that Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) and his team have blamed the loss on the shoulder injury rather than give Mayweather credit for his performance.
"I'm not going to buy into the bulls--- ... and I don't want the public to buy into the bulls---," Mayweather said. "He lost. He knows he lost. I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this."
Asked whether he could detect a problem with Pacquiao's right arm during the fight, Mayweather said, "Absolutely not. He was fast. His left hand was fast. His right hand was fast, and he was throwing them both fast and strong. Excuses, excuses."
After the fight, Mayweather said his shoulders and hands were hurt going into the fight but he didn't make excuses. He said he instead found a way to win, as he always does.

Floyd is pissed with Manny, with the law sued involving others, he may end up a poor man again. The Money man is not going to help him this time, if he decides to retire from boxing, he will end up living from the Filipino people as others have in the past.
I guess this will bring aqua back, aqua, were are you?????

[steveOtoo]

Aqua is having shoulder surgery from throwing too many shadow punches at PBF during the big fight..............he'll be back

[Condor]

But I am here Steve....Beheheheheeeee. They were all in "cahoots" and PBF will also be sued next... That is his "defense" for just being plain scared of a rematch with a healthy Pacman.... He (PBF) is on the run again.... Bawahahahahahaaaaa!!!

PBF can say what ever he wants now..........but if the money is there for another Pac fight he`ll be there if he has to wear a dress.

Don't think so, Pac is no longer the attraction of the fans. Can't believe he was put #2 in the P/P rankings cause he's not. Guillermo, who wasn't favored by many sportswriter and commentators, is #3. Floyd is the money ,don't forget that.

[Fibroso]

Mayweather says he'd beat Pacquiao '100 out of 100 times'After saying in a text message to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith that he would consider a rematch with Manny Pacquiao after a unanimous decision ...

We`ll differ there pal.....pac still has a ton of supporters to draw a major amount of cash. Not like the first fight but there would be plenty to go around if they fought again......but you`re right PBF is the money, not much question there.

Don't let the promotional champaign fool you into thinking
that it's anything else but the beginning of another hype fight.

This is exactly how it starts ,, remember these guys are unlike us,
where they are in a multi-million dollar environment and in their
environment they have business advisers, consultants and think
tanks, that help them maximise their earnings ..

These two guys are now best friends and co-conspirators in the
organizing of their future revenues ...

Not to mention HBO and Showtime, who are also salivating at the
opportunity to see and help manipulate the situation through the sporting
reporting world, to help make another such event materialise.

At this level of the game ,, these guys are no different from football
players, hockey players etc. who quarrel on the field but are later seen
slugging beers together and explaining that "on the field we're competitors
but that's where we leave it. Off the field we're brothers of common"

May and Pac will keep popping off ....
Showtime and HBO will make sure the sporting world hears what each said ..
and the frenzy is born ,,,

They have one year left to make another happen after that their stock will
surely plummet when they hit 40

Personally I think it's brilliant ,, Bring it on I say ... of coarse we will all be
watching ,,,even those who claim they're not gonna watch a second one....

On another note ,,, of coarse Floyd was hugging Pac ,,, HE LOVES HIM !!!
That 100 Million Dollar cheque didn't write itself,,,,, Pac helped write it ....LOL
I would hug him too ..... LOL

right on buddy.....been around the game far too long not to believe they are in the process of putting out feelers to see how much fans are willing to shell out again.

MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao lost his biggest fight in the ring, but that won't stop him from plotting a bigger comeback — in the political arena that is.
In a country where elections are entertainment and political programs secondary, candidates often win because of star power and money.
Pacquaio, who earned more than $100 million despite losing the Fight of the Century against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last weekend, certainly has that working for him.
But can he overcome his poor record as an incumbent congressman, his humble origins and lack of political savvy to win a Senate seat, or even higher office?
Having established himself as a local politician, the natural path for the 36-year-old Pacquiao would be the 24-seat Senate, a national position, which has been used as a springboard for vice president or president. His most ardent supporters say he can be a future president.
The Bible-quoting boxer, who by law cannot run for president before turning 40, has said his "thoughts on the presidency ... are merely aspirational." His first presidential race would be in 2022.
That could be harder than defeating Mayweather., but he can take comfort in the thought that Filipinos love the underdog. His rags-to-riches story — rising from extreme poverty to becoming the wealthiest Philippine congressman — has captured the imagination of the millions in his Southeast Asian nation.
Pacquiao the underdog played well at home after it was disclosed that even with his shoulder injured he still fought aggressively against Mayweather, said political analyst and public administration professor Prospero de Vera.
He said the way Pacquiao lost the fight "actually enhances his political viability" and could help him win as senator in elections next year.
But the higher the office Pacquiao seeks, the fiercer the competition and the closer the public scrutiny he will face.
Two popular athletes have been elected to the Senate in the last 30 years. One had first served as a city councilor, the other was a businessman-turned-sportsman before running for the upper house. Both worked full time as legislators, unlike Pacquiao.
But, winning an election "most of the time is not connected with being prepared for the job," de Vera said.
So far, Pacquiao doesn't have much to show as one of 292 representatives in the lower house — he hasn't successfully sponsored a single bill and is a top absentee in the chamber over the past five years.
Many Filipinos see Pacquiao's loss as his cue to retire from boxing. For them, Pacquiao has already sealed his legacy not just as one of the world's greatest boxers but also as a source of national pride. Others want him to also withdraw from politics and enjoy the fruits of his 20-year boxing career.
Yet others don't believe he will retire anytime soon from boxing or politics. For one thing, his fight winnings are too big to ignore.
Pacquiao, who according to Forbes was worth $82 million before the latest fight, is often approached for financial support by individual constituents or even entire villages for anything from a community basketball court to funding for fiestas and scholarships. He also shoulders the expenses of his large entourage of relatives, friends and an assortment of hangers-on.
"I think he is not yet ready to retire," said Raul Martinez, mayor of Pacquiao's hometown of Kiamba and his wedding godfather. "Not everything is in place yet. He has so many commitments that if you sum up (his money), it won't be enough."
Doling out benefits and building a patronage network is a Filipino politician's staple.
Pacquiao gives at least 50,000 pesos ($1,125) to each of the 144 villages in his impoverished southern Sarangani province and over 500,000 pesos ($11,285) to each of its seven municipalities every year just for fiestas — like celebrations of local patron saints. He also pays professional fees for show-biz personalities he invites to appear at the parties, Martinez said.
Martinez said he will try to persuade Pacquiao to run in next year's election for governor instead of senator for practical reasons — he will most likely be unopposed and he can save a lot more money on a local election compared to a national campaign for a Senate seat, where he is also expected to contribute to the campaigns of provincial governors and thousands of municipal officials whose support he will seek to win votes.
Some fans still want a rematch because they felt cheated by the lackluster Pacquiao-Mayweather bout, which boxing analyst Ed Tolentino calls the "Fiasco of the Century."
Tolentino said that pending investigations by Nevada authorities into whether there was fraud or "other shenanigans" in the bout, "the rematch is as good as dead."
Pacquiao lost by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. He said he thought he won despite his injured right shoulder. He is facing several damage suits in the United States for alleged fraud in connection with the injury from people who spent money to watch or bet on the fight.
"When the injury had not yet been disclosed, people were blaming Floyd Mayweather for the lackluster fight because he resorted to hit-and-run tactics, but now people are blaming Manny Pacquiao for robbing them of the 'fight of the century,'" Tolentino said.
He said, however, that Pacquiao can still retire without soiling his record as a champion. "I do not believe that his legacy will be defined by the performance in the Mayweather fight," he said.

It was Mayweathers fault for the one of the most boring Mayweather fights.He waited until both were out of their primes.It was Mayweather who finally agreed to the fight at the basketball game he was in total control of where and when it was happening, all part of his "tatics".Pacman`s legacy will live on Mayweathers legacy will go down as the most cowardly champion in the history of boxing he will be soon riding in his plane with no crew no entourage and driving his fancy cars that he doesnt even know how to read the owners manual and like Mike Tyson says no moe B*tches and hoe`s.

Punch like that should have koed him but pbf has nothing left to old

Boxing has been great for him, his bank account speaks for itself.
In a way his been good for boxing. ask all the losers that he has left behind.
Their bank accounts speak for themselves, only haters lay pissed, broke and full of hamburgers.
That was a jab, which he used all night together with the straight right hand to the face.
The uppercut would have probably put Pac on his butt. but he didn't use it.His corner told him several times "Hit this mother f___ and stop waiting" One interesting fact was that Floyd usually fights with Winning gloves to defend himself from punchers, guess what, he had on Reyes gloves against Pac.
Indication of No respect for Pac's punching power.

Lets hope Warren Buffets beneficiaries feel the same about pbf he is 84!
Mike Tyson made 380 million over his career and went bankrupt just a few
years after retiring, back then 380 is equal to pbf`s 600 mil now.One big part
of Tysons downfall other than being an idiot was Givens second was his spending on bling bling.
Tyson has come back Hollywood style because he has charisma and is articulate none of which
pbf has.Putting millions in the hands of the likes of pbf is dangerous he may buy the presidency
just like paman will.

i wonder what my punishment will be this time.....

Yes you will, no hamburgers for a week...

....And same thing will happen to PBF as I have predicted this over and over again... He will be bankrupt and to top it off he will go off the deep end and end up with...OJ.....as a "cellie".......Beheheheheeee!!!!!! I laugh but it will become a reality..He is illiterate, and most of all a bad human being...I know Fib I am hating on him.. Lol..
