Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. look set to revisit their thrilling rivalry. The duo has begun negotiations for a rematch fight in 2024, hoping to offer fans the real deal this time around.
Their first face-off happened when both legendary fighters were nearing the end of their careers. The match failed to lead to an immediate follow-up, with talks veering towards exhibitions as both had initially hung up their gloves.
Now, things look different. Manny Pacquiao recently confirmed that not only is he negotiating with Mayweather's team, but he's also feeling great physically, without his old shoulder issues affecting him anymore.
"Right now it is in negotiations. My people and his people are directly coordinating. Now I don't have a shoulder problem, so it's a good fight. I'm sure the world of boxing will be excited if the rematch will push through," shared Manny Pacquiao during ongoing discussions.
This potential rematch wouldn't fall into the exhibition category and Pacquiao’s remarkable return to professional boxing earlier this year has undoubtedly stoked interest among fans and experts alike.
Apart from Mayweather, Pacquiao remains active on other fronts too. He is considering an exhibition match against another great talent, Vasiliy Lomachenko, but emphasizes that the Mayweather saga entails a legitimate fight.
Anticipation swells as the two legends might soon step into the ring once again, showcasing skills and resolve in a bout devoid of past constraints. Fans worldwide keenly await the news outcome of these talks.
