Now that Floyd May- weather has defeated Conor McGregor and has a perfect 50-0 record, he will go back to retired life and stay there, according to son Ko- raun.
The younger Mayweather was asked after his father's win if there was any chance of a rematch with McGregor, to which Koraun gave a re- sounding "no."
"No chance. No chance. No rematch," Koraun stated. "Officially done. He's 40,
Kings' Zach Randolph Has Marijuana Charges Reduced
ZACH RANDOLPH
Sacramento Kings forward Zach Randolph was ar- rested Aug. 9 in Los Angeles arrested on charges of felony possession of marijuana with intent to sell. After a review of the case, the Los Angeles Dis- trict Attorney has reduced the charges down to two misde- meanors.
Randolph has now been charged with misdemeanor possession of more than one ounce of marijuana and mis- demeanor resisting arrest. Since it's Randolph's first arrest he likely won't see any jail time.
There are conflicting re- ports about the way the inci- dent took place on Aug. 9 at the Nickerson Gardens hous- ing project in Watts.
Police responded to the area around 10 p.m. local time and found a large crowd of people blocking the roadway. Three people then grabbed at their waistbands and ran away from the scene, and officers pursued them. Randolph was arrested and charged with drug possession with intent to sell, a felony, after being found with a large quantity of marijuana, and the crowd be- came increasingly unruly as arrests were made. TMZ said six police cars were vandalized before order was restored.

gotta realize that. He's an old man."
According to Koraun, his father also wants to focus on
his business ventures, which means he doesn't even have time to fight anymore.
Mayweather has also said in the past that McGregor would be his last fight, though he said the same thing in 2015 after he defeated Andre Berto.
Mayweather came out of retirement specifically to fight McGregor. After 10 long rounds Saturday night, May- weather came away victori- ous and at least $300 million richer.
Tiger Woods Says He Has
Medical Clearance To
'Start Pitching' Golf Balls
Superstar golfer Tiger Woods is back -- well, back to hitting golf balls, at least.
On Thursday afternoon, Woods tweeted video of a slow-motion swing with a wedge, which was captioned: "Dr. gave me the ok to start pitching."
The 14-time major cham- pion hasn't played a competi- tive round since January. After missing the entire 2016 campaign, he returned late last year with a promising T- 15 result (in an 18-player field) at his own Hero World Challenge. He followed that with a missed cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in late January, then was forced to withdraw from the Dubai Desert Classic one week later with what he termed at the time as back spasms.
Soon thereafter, Woods

underwent a fourth back sur- gery.
Since that time, he has re- peatedly stated that he wants to return to competitive golf and that there exists no timetable for his return.
Woods, 41, is expected to be present at next month's Presidents Cup, serving as an assistant captain for United States captain Steve Stricker. He served in a sim- ilar capacity at last year's Ryder Cup.
