Even if the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley 2nd rematch on April 9 is being billed as the Filipino champ's last professional fight, the 37-year-old congressman indicated he is willing to reconsider the decision.
What would make the Sarangani Province representative change his mind is if he could have a rematch with just retired American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., reports Kickerdaily. Pacquaio explains to Philboxing that he wants to end his more than 20-year professional boxing career with a bang.
He believes a rematch with Mayweather, who retired in October with a 49-0 record, would just do that. Pacquiao continues, "And what could be the biggest fight to end a career than fighting the best and finest boxer at least in this era?"
The eight-division title holder admits, "We could have given that last May when we faced each other but due to unavoidable circumstances, sports fans failed to get the results they want."
But Mayweather, based on recent interviews, is not keen on returning to the ring. He appears to be enjoying his wealth by going on a tour of many countries.
Mayweather observers, however, note the manner that the retired boxer is spending his money like there's no tomorrow. TMZ reports that to cap 2015, the millionaire purchased a 50-carat pinky ring and 74-diamond necklace with a price tag estimated between $5 million and $10 million.
Sports World New describes Mayweather's spending pattern as "like he's got another Manny Pacquiao payday coming," wherein he earned $300 million. Based on Pacquiao's latest statement, it may become a reality if both boxers retract their retirement plans by one more fight. But the question is will boxing fans still buy tickets and pay-per-view for a "Fight of the Century 2" at insane prices?
