Manny Pacquiao makes confident Floyd Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao is confident he can defeat Floyd Mayweather in a possible rematch, as he will not be hindered by injury this time round.

More than a decade after their historic bout – often known as the greatest fight of all time – the two boxing legends are reportedly discussing a second face-off. The anticipated rematch might probably be a part of a Netflix event next yr, with Mike Tyson set to be ignored.

Pacquiao, also often known as ‘Pac Man,’ made a comeback in July after a four-year break, ending with a draw against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. Since then, he has hinted at another return to the ring.

Meanwhile, Mayweather, who retired from skilled boxing in 2017 following his victory over UFC star Conor McGregor, has ventured into exhibition boxing. He was rumored to be preventing Tyson next yr, however no particulars about the match have been disclosed.

Now, with Pacquiao seemingly main the race for another shot at Mayweather, the 46-year-old is keen for revenge after dropping to Mayweather on factors in 2015.

Following their earlier match, Pacquiao revealed that a shoulder injury had affected his performance against Mayweather. However, amid discussions of a attainable rematch, he’s optimistic about his possibilities and asserts that he’s now free from accidents.

“Right now, it’s in negotiations,” Pacquiao told Seconds Out. “It depends on whether we can understand each other. My people and his people [are] directly coordinating.

“It’s very attention-grabbing, because proper now I haven’t got a shoulder downside, so it is a good fight,” he continued, referencing an apparent injury that he carried into the 2015 fight.

“I’m positive the world of boxing might be excited if the rematch will occur soon. He has his personal choice, so I can not forestall him from preventing Mike Tyson. [We are] virtually agreeing with each other, however there are a few particulars we’re still negotiating.

“Probably it will happen in Las Vegas. There’s also a negotiation with [former world champion Vasyl] Lomachenko for an exhibition. But the Mayweather thing that we are negotiating right now is a real fight.”

In a current interview with The Sun, the former eight-division world champion revealed his need to face ‘Money’ as soon as more. “As long as Floyd will come back. I’m active in boxing, it’s possible,” he said.

“There is a talk. Like I said, I’m happy to start talking about, discussing about a possible rematch with Floyd. Of course, there’s a good chance to have a rematch because I’m still active – it’s only if he will come back that’s possible.”
