Floyd Mayweather Reneges On Offer To Fight Manny Pacquiao In Rematch And Calls Him Names

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao

Undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, angry at the renewed bad publicity surrounding him, has reneged on an offer to fight rival Manny Pacquiao in a rematch, after winning the unanimous decision over him a week ago in their widely watched bout. Mayweather had stated to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith that he is open to a rematch with Pacquiao.

The news of the rematch delighted many on social networking. However, Mayweather changed his mind after a stream of bad publicity calling the first fight fixed and his mood was worsened after negative exposure via a serious $20,00,000 defamation lawsuit by the mother of three of his children, Josie Harris. Mayweather is now calling Pacquiao a "sore loser" and a "coward." 

It should be noted, Mayweather has changed his mind many times in the past about fighting Pacquiao, but did so anyway in what was a record breaking, lucrative bout. Mayweather loves money and will unlikely leave another $180,000,000 on the table in not having a rematch with his top rival Pacquiao. Mayweather has become very wealthy from hard work in the gym and boxing ring, as has Pacquiao. They earned their money fair and square. A rematch would be a wise financial decision.

Do I have any regrets about ordering the fight? No. It was an entertaining experience, under card included. However, I would like to see Mayweather set a better example outside the ring as a wealthy young black man (go to anger management, refrain from domestic violence and stop keeping a stable of girlfriends).
Though he has not finished school, he is no fool (it would be beneficial to him if he obtained his high school diploma via private tutoring). Anyone who listens to Mayweather speak should be able to discern that. However, people are watching him and he has to do better regarding his personal life.

Muhammad Ali's tweet on social networking website Twitter

Undefeated world welterweight boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather, recently slammed legendary heavyweight champ, Muhammad Ali, stating he is not the greatest boxer of all time. The comments were made during an interview with ESPN's Stephen Smith. Mayweather insulted Ali stating, "So you gonna tell me it's cool to lay on the ropes, take punishment, then land a few punches."  Mayweather further stated he has been through racism as well, not truly realizing what Ali faced during the civil rights era is infinitely worse.

Floyd Mayweather faces Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight is also available on Pay Per View. Check your local listings.

Ali took to Twitter shortly after and posted the comment, "'Don't you forget, I am the greatest!' #MuhammadAli." The champ's daughter, Laila Ali, also reminded website TMZ that her dad is the greatest boxer. I don't know why I'm defending a man who tried to nail my mom and offered to kick my dad's butt in exchange for her (LOL) but Mayweather should not have insulted the man most view as the top boxer ever to hit the ring.

Floyd Mayweather Slams Muhammad Ali And Says He's The Greatest Boxer Of All Time (Video)

Floyd Mayweather offended many members of the public today regarding statements he made in an interview with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. Mayweather slammed legendary boxer, Muhammad Ali stating, "So you gonna tell me it's cool to lay on the ropes, take punishment, then land a few punches." Considering Ali now has Parkinsons and in my opinion from head trauma he suffered in the ring, Mayweather's statements are unkind and insensitive.

Mayweather further stated, "No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali was better than me. No one could ever brainwash me and tell me that. But one thing I will do, I'm going to take my hat off to them and respect those guys because those are the guys that paved the way for me to be where I'm at today." Despite Mayweather's statements, Ali is still considered the greatest boxer.

Mayweather also stated he faces racism in America just as Ali did, but that is wholly inaccurate. Ali is from the civil rights era and faced far greater racism than Mayweather has known. Mayweather can book the top suite in any hotel in America. Last year he vacationed in Miami at the FontaineBleau hotel. When Ali would train in Miami that is not where he would stay. Many black musicians and athletes were not allowed to stay in the same hotels as white people during the civil rights era.

What's Going On With Floyd Mayweather 

Stephen A. Smith expresses shock at Floyd Mayweather slamming him. Mayweather stated, "I ain't never seen Stephen A. Smith dribble a basketball, catch a football, or get in a boxing ring. He's just a critic." For full video click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk1vCxbtOxA

Undefeated lightweight boxer, Floyd Mayweather, slammed one of his top supporters, highly rated ESPN sports analyst, Stephen A. Smith, for stating he should give the fans the fight they want against fellow pugilist, Manny Paquiao. Many people hold this view, but Floyd was not amused with Smith stating it. 

Manny Paquiao tweeted the video posted above featuring Smith on Twitter with the words, "Last I checked Freedom of Speech was still part of the U.S. Bill of Rights. Bravo!" 

Ironically, the man considered by most to be the greatest, not to mention prettiest boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali, tweeted at Mayweather and Paquiao months ago. Ali congratulated Mayweather on his win in the ring. Ali also complimented Mayweather and politely stated what we've all been thinking and saying, Floyd should give fans what they want, a fight against Paquiao. 

Mayweather did not respond to Ali's tweet, which was stunning. Bro, that was Ali. You should have answered him (when Ali kicks your butt, you'll know - I'm kidding). Paquiao responded to the tweet and thanked the champ for his kind words.

I will admit, Smith was hard on Mayweather's rival, Amir Khan, in the video, who is a good boxer as well and just wants a shot at the champ. Doesn't everybody! There have also been times when Smith's co-host Skip Bayless ticked me off talking about my Miami Heat, but I digress (watch your back, Skip...I'm joking).

It's all covered by free speech. However, to turn on the ones who support you is not advisable. Something's going on with Mayweather. He's been lashing out at people a lot lately. Recently, he slammed the fastest man in the world, sprinter, Usain Bolt, for no reason. Mayweather was in London, England at a barber shop in Brixton.

A Jamaican Briton in Britxon asked Mayweather who he is and he became offended and angry that she did not know. Boxing fans in Britain know who Mayweather is, but he's not known by everyone in the United Kingdom. When Mayweather told her who he is, it still didn't ring a bell. 

She informed him that she knows who former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is, but she hadn't seen any of Mayweather's fights. She stated she only watches the big fights. She also stated she knows who Rihanna, Beyonce and Usain Bolt are. When she mentioned Bolt, Floyd became enraged and snapped, "Who the f**k is Usain Bolt."

 

Usain Bolt 

As far as I know, Bolt had nothing against Mayweather. Bolt even responded to the video on Twitter, trying not to take Mayweather's diss seriously. However, Mayweather seems to be angry and troubled in general and lashing out at people this year. Could it be ex-fiancee, Shantel Jackson, aborting his unborn twins after lying to him that he stressed her out and caused a miscarriage [Shantel Jackson Confirms She Is Going To Do A Tell-All About Boxer Floyd Mayweather Confirming This Site's Previous Claims (Video)]. Jackson is now suing Mayweather, divulging the details of their tumultuous time together. 

Whatever is bothering Mayweather, I hope he gets it sorted out and finds some peace in his life. Even in the face of what happened regarding the twins, he has a lot going for himself. At the end of the day, life's too short to be angry and bitter over the past. Some things in life we've got to let go and move on, as difficult as it may be.
