Mayweather rematch ‘almost’ agreed – Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, a fellow boxing legend, are “almost” in agreement on a rematch.

In what was billed as the “Fight of the Century,” the former world champions first met in 2015.

Mayweather won by unanimous consent after 12 rounds, but Pacquiao claimed he had a shoulder injury and that he “cannot retire with peace of mind with that defeat.”

The 46-year-old retired in 2021, but in his comeback fight in July, Barrios kept his title after drawing the majority of his opponents.

Since retiring in 2017, Mayweather has won a number of exhibition fights, and the 48-year-old American will face Mike Tyson next year.

However, Pacquiao claims that Mayweather’s team is “in talks” about a rematch that “probably” will take place in Las Vegas.

The Filipino told Seconds Out, “It depends on our ability to comprehend one another.” “My people and his people are directly coordinating,” he says.

Pacquiao continued, “It’s very interesting because I don’t have a shoulder problem right now.

If the rematch succeeds, the boxing world will be enthralled, “I’m sure the world will be watching.” I can’t prevent him from fighting Mike Tyson because he has made his own decision.
