(Photo : Reuters) Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s name is being dragged into another fight, but this time it is between his manager and former opponent and Golden Boy Promotions LLC Founder Oscar de la Hoya.
Floyd Mayweather, defending WBC Welterweight Champion, recently told Stephen Smith from ESPN that he might put off his September retirement to make way for Pacquiao's proposed rematch against him.
However, this rematch will no longer be feasible since money changed his mind not to fight 'Pacman' again, according to ESPN.

Mayweather confirmed that he indeed sent Smith a text message affirming that he is open to a rematch but changed his mind about it.
"At this particular time, no, because he's a sore loser and a coward," Mayweather said in an interview with Showtime last week. He added that Pacquiao should accept defeat and concede to the fact that "he (Mayweather) is definitely the better fighter."
Mayweather's post-fight interview will air on Saturday, which will also feature a replay of last week's match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather gained victory by unanimous decision that marked the fighter as one of the richest in the history of boxing.
Pacquiao stated in a previous interview that he had an injury on his right shoulder that inhibited him to maximize his full strength. Pacquiao was diagnosed with a significant tear to his rotator cuff, the muscles that comprise the shoulder region. The Filipino boxer will undergo an arthroscopic surgery under the care of Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.
Pacquiao will take a break from boxing for approximately nine months for his recovery.
As for Mayweather, he is set to fight another match this September as the last fight as stipulated in his 6-fight contract with CBS and Showtime. British boxer Amir Khan is speculated to be his opponent.
Mayweather expressed his infuriation towards Pacquiao and his team for blaming his defeat on his pre-existing shoulder injury.
'Money' insisted that Pacquiao should've given Mayweather some credit to his fighting ability.
"Excuses, Excuses," said Mayweather, as the interview draws to a close.
