\n It\u2019s been over 10 years since Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao clashed in what was billed the \u201cFight of the Century<\/a>.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n And despite both being well into their 40s, we might be about to see a famous rematch between two of the best boxers of their generation.\n <\/p>\n

\n Speaking to the Seconds Out<\/a> YouTube channel, Pacquiao revealed that a rematch against Mayweather is \u201calmost\u201d agreed, with the two camps \u201cin negotiations.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt depends on whether we can understand each other,\u201d the Filipino said.
\u201cMy people and his people (are) directly coordinating.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In their fight in 2015 in Las Vegas, Mayweather was victorious over Pacquiao by unanimous decision in one of the most highly anticipated bouts in boxing history.\n <\/p>\n

\n Pacquaio said after the 2015 fight that he had injured his shoulder<\/a> during training in the lead-up to their clash, but is now unincumbered by any ailments. \u201cIt\u2019s very interesting because, right now, I don\u2019t have a shoulder problem,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Now, Pacquiao says the potential rematch will likely take place in Las Vegas but admits there were a \u201cfew conditions we\u2019re still negotiating.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019m sure the world of boxing will be excited if the rematch will push through,\u201d the 46-year-old said.\n <\/p>\n

\"Mayweather<\/p>\n

\n Pacquiao last fought professionally in July this year, ending a four-year retirement to challenge Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title. The bout ended in a draw<\/a> meaning Barrios remained champion.\n <\/p>\n

\n Conversely, Mayweather retired from professional boxing in 2017 with an undefeated 50-0 record<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n Since then, the 48-year-old American has participated in exhibition bouts, last stepping into the ring against John Gotti III in 2024.\n <\/p>\n

\n An exhibition fight between Mayweather and Mike Tyson has already been announced<\/a>, but Pacquiao believes it won\u2019t affect their negotiations.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe has his own decision, so I cannot prevent him from fighting Mike Tyson,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Pacquiao revealed he\u2019s also in talks with Vasiliy Lomachenko for an exhibition fight, but said that the rematch with Mayweather would be the priority, calling it a \u201creal fight.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been over 10 years since Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao clashed in what was billed the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-250455","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
