After initially suggesting he was happy to stage a rematch against Manny Pacquiao, it seems Floyd Mayweather has now changed his mind.
Earlier in the week Mayweather text ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith saying he was open to another fight when Pacquiao recovers from shoulder surgery.
But, judging by this interview with Showtime, that’s no longer the case…
“Did I text Stephen A. Smith and say I will fight him again? Yeah, but I change my mind,” said Mayweather.
“At this particular time, no, because he’s a sore loser and he’s a coward.
“If you lost, accept the loss and say, ‘Mayweather, you were the better fighter.”
Pacquiao underwent surgery to repair his shoulder injury on Thursday and later posted this picture on Instagram:
But Mayweather remains unimpressed with his rival.
“I’m not going to buy into the bulls**t… and I don’t want the public to buy into the bulls**t,” he continued.
“He lost. He knows he lost. I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this.”
