You know why boxers want to fight Floyd Mayweather?
At Mayweather’s age he doesn’t have a lot of power in his punches, so while he can stun you, he can’t really hurt you. It is likely you will lose, you will make a TON of money with little to no punishment.
Pacquiao is getting old himself and doesn’t have a lot of fights left, so he wants to make as much money as possible, so fighting Mayweather is always going to be on his mind.
Pacquiao had surgery on his right shoulder four days after he lost by unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in boxing’s richest fight ever in May. Mayweather says he is retiring, though Pacquiao recognizes that in boxing, those vows don’t always hold up.
“If you ask me, of course, I want a rematch,” Pacquiao said. “I heard that he retired already. If he really retired, then there’s no rematch. But if not …”
“He kept moving around and didn’t want to fight toe to toe with me, exchanging punches,” Pacquiao said Monday.
Asked if he could change that in a rematch, Pacquiao said, “I think so, especially [after] I fixed my shoulder.”
Every Mayweather opponent for the last ten years or so has said that same thing as if it is his job to stand in front of them and let them hit him.
If a rematch would happened it would be in the fall of 2016, since Pacquiao wants to fight in early 2016.
