It seems as though the Pacquiao camp is trying to drum up public pressure for a potential “Fight of the Century” rematch.
Floyd Mayweather has long maintained that he would retire after his next fight against Andre Berto. Manny Pacquiao’s man, Bob Arum, has even said the same about Pacquiao after his next match against an undecided opponent.
But then there’s this recent video of Manny Pacquiao claiming that they are “still negotiating.. very much with Floyd Mayweather. We’re hoping for that”.
And now we have Freddie Roach, the trainer for Manny Pacquiao, speaking up about a potential rematch and why he believes it will happen.
Freddie Roach said today he doesn't think Pacquiao's next fight will be his last.

"If Manny fights a good fighter, looks good, has no shoulder injury, I think @FloydMayweather and him will go one more time. Too much money.

"They're not going to let that go, I feel," Roach said.

All of this despite no word from Mayweather’s camp that he’s even considering continuing his career after his September match.
