Subsequent 12 months, I hope to see you right here in Japan with an enormous struggle in opposition to…..Floyd Mayweather. I assumed you didn’t need me to say that. I’m excited for that.”
However will the followers be excited for Mayweather-Pacquiao II, the exhibition? The Might 2015 the 2 legends lastly had, after years of ready round, was one huge dud, and it’s sure that many followers will consider a rematch, with the 2 males being a lot older and boxing in an exhibition at that, would be the identical. That stated, the rematch will make a pile of cash, and naturally, individuals will tune in to look at.

However then it could possibly be “Cash” and Pac Man hooking up once more in Japan someday later in 2024. Are YOU excited?
It appears growing older former champions like Mayweather and Pacquiao are simply unable to hold up the gloves fully, and with a lot good cash to be constructed from participating in exhibition bouts, who can actually blame them?
