Will Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather submit the world of sport to another "Fight of the Century"?
Pacquiao called Mayweather on Saturday night during an interview with reporters, challenging the retired boxer to a rematch. Pacquiao and Mayweather in May 2015 fought a highly publicized but ultimately disappointing fight, which Mayweather won by unanimous decision. More than three years later, Pacquiao has publicly floated the idea of another mega-fight between legends of boxing.
"Mayweather? S? He decides to return to boxing, so that's the time when we will call the shots ,? said Pacquiao after his victory over Lucas Matthysse in Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia. "I have the belt, so it's up to him to decide." "He wants to get back into boxing, let's do a second one."
Mayweather and Pacquiao still enrich in their first fight, the first winning over $ 220 million and the second receiving more than $ 100 million.
Mayweather, 41, retired from boxing in September 2015. He retired from retirement in the summer to box the UFC icon Conor McGregor in another layering before hanging up his gloves.
Pacquiao, 39, is now the WBA welterweight champion. He is looking for his next opponent and has also initiated the idea of fighting Amir Khan in the near future.
"Yes, it's a potential opponent, Amir Khan," Pacquiao said. "There are a lot of potential opponents out there, like (Vasyl) Lomachenko, there are so many fighters who have the potential to be my next opponent."
But these potential opponents of Pacquiao would not have the same pulling power as Mayweather, is not it?
