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 Pacquiao 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's Jim Gray in an interview taped this week that will air Saturday night (Showtime,. 9 p.m. ET) during the network's replay of last Saturday night's pay-per-view mega fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"If you lost, accept the loss and say, 'Mayweather, you were the better fighter,'" Mayweather continued.
Mayweather won a unanimous decision in the welterweight world championship fight that will go down as the richest in boxing history and one of the most anticipated fights ever.
