After considering a rematch against Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather has changed his mind because of the way he feels Pacquiao acted after the fight.

After it appeared everything was good between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, it suddenly is not.

After Mayweather defeated Pacquiao in one of the most hyped up matches in recent history, the undefeated champ no longer wishes to grant Pacquiao a rematch.

After Pacquiao went on record after the match talking about how he felt he wasn’t beaten and brought up the fact that he was fighting with an injured shoulder, many felt Pacquiao was using the shoulder as an excuse for his loss.

Mayweather apparently feels the same, and had some harsh words for Pacquiao.

To call someone a sore loser and a coward is pretty strong and those words are usually fighting words. For a while it looked like any issues the two had was settled in the ring as they embraced after the fight and Mayweather referred to Pacquiao as a tough competitor in a post-fight interview.

Unfortunately, they won’t be fighting words as it appears the once in a lifetime fight, will remain once in a lifetime.

Mayweather currently has one fight left on his deal with Showtime in September, and he said after the fight that he would be fighting then. If it’s not a rematch against Pacquiao, it’s unclear who it would be against at this time.

Now, of course this could all be just a clever ruse to drum up interest in the two fighting again after the first fight faced heavy criticism and was called boring by many who spent $100 on the fight or even more for tickets. To get people to shell out that type of money again for a fight that left people disappointed the first time will take some clever marketing.

Of course it wouldn’t be surprising if the feelings are legitimate and if so, this one-off boxing rivalry has left a terrible taste in everyone’s mouth.
