Just when it felt like any hopes for a Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao rematch were dead, Pacquiao himself threw the boxing world for a loop by saying he is in negotiations with Mayweather for a rematch, according to an AFP report. Pacquiao confirmed he is in negotiations with American Mayweather and Briton [Amir] Khan but said he had no preference over who to fight ... "I will fight anybody, anywhere," he said. "I am going to fight probably before the election ... "The election is coming next year, May, and before that I will probably have one fight." Any potential fight would take place in March or early April next year, said Pacquiao, who also told Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera that it could take place in the Gulf. Now he insists he is ready for his next challenge. Earlier this week, Pacquiao talked about his political ambitions, a career that would likely make returning to the ring impossible past May of next year.
– Is it possible to have two Fights of the Century? We may be about to find out, as Manny Pacquiao announced Thursday he is in talks with Floyd Mayweather about staging a rematch of last May's bout. Business Insider reports Mayweather is currently retired, but money—May's fight brought in a record $600 million in revenue—could lure him out. Pacquiao blames a shoulder injury for his loss to Mayweather in May and says he wants to get one more fight in before he retires to concentrate on politics full time, starting with the Philippine elections next May, according to Yahoo Sports. And who knows? If it happens, maybe there'll even be some actual boxing in the Fight of the Century Part Two.
