Mayweather to Showtime: Pacquiao a 'sore loser' and 'coward'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Floyd Mayweather said in an upcoming interview with Showtime that at this moment he's not interested in a rematch with Manny Pacquiao ''because he's a sore loser and he's a coward.''
The interview was recorded late Tuesday night and will air Saturday night after the network's replay of boxing's richest fight, which Mayweather won by decision last weekend in Las Vegas to stay undefeated.
Asked if he thought Pacquiao was hampered by the right shoulder injury that later required surgery, Mayweather tells Jim Gray, ''Absolutely not.''
''Excuses, excuses, excuses,'' he said later.
''He was fast,'' Mayweather insists in quotes released Thursday. ''His left hand was fast. His right hand was fast and he was throwing them both fast and strong.''
Using an expletive for emphasis, Mayweather adds that ''I'm not going to buy into'' it, ''and I don't want the public to buy into'' it.
''He lost,'' Mayweather said. ''He knows he lost. I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this.''
Mayweather acknowledges that he earlier texted ESPN's Stephen A. Smith to say he welcomed a rematch.
''Yeah, but I change my mind,'' Mayweather said. ''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.'''

We often see how the economy has hurt Nascar.
Well it sure has not hurt boxing. The money wasted on watching this fight is unbelievable.
I wouldn't pay 10 cents to watch Mayweather fight a naked Jennifer Anniston at this point.
Though I would have to subscribe to the weigh in!

More hype on these two multi millionaires.
Ater years of waiting and months of intense hype leading up to the "Fight of the Century," Floyd Mayweather Jr. beat Manny Pacquiao in a less-than-thrilling unanimous decision in May.
A second time around, however, would see Pacquiao get the better of the undefeated welterweight champion, his trainer, Freddie Roach, said.
"Manny would do much better in a rematch, if the shoulder gets better," Roach told the Boxing News. "We were doing well until the shoulder went in the fourth round, and we had a tough time after that. I do think we can beat Mayweather, 100%."
Pacquiao was dealing with a right shoulder injury going into his bout with Mayweather. The injury occurred during a previous sparring session and required surgery after his loss in the ring to the champion. Pacquiao is not expected back in the ring until 2016.
Mayweather (48-0, 26 knockouts) is set to face Andre Berto (33-3, 23 KOs) on Sept. 12 in what is being billed as his final fight, which would make it difficult to get Pacquiao back in the ring with him.
"I don't know where Mayweather's going right now. I don't think he'll stop at 49 fights; I think he’ll fight to 50. I'm hoping that he promotes himself. Maybe if he does, he can make more money," Roach said.

I imagine it is not insurable. Do they insure airplanes that cost that much? If so, maybe the same fee? Just guessing.

Chance of a car accident higher than an airplane.
