There is no truth to rumors that Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao will get a rematch anytime soon. In fact it may never will.
Word of such comes no less from Floyd Mayweather Sr. who says that he doesn't foresee one happening and the only reason why Pacquiao wants to fight his son is because it is the biggest payout he could probably get his hands on, as reported by thaboxingvoice.com.
But, of course, Floyd Sr. has time and again been proven wrong since the last say will come from Floyd Jr. himself. Right now, he will concur with his father so all thoughts of such will remain up in the cloud or typically a rumor.
Pacquiao has already announced that he will be facing Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley Jr. for the third time on April 9, 2016. The interesting part about it is that Pacquiao and Arum agreed not to market it as the last one for the boxer/lawmaker, according to the Los Angeles Times.
With that said, Pacquiao may not be totally retiring after all. This goes against his earlier claim that his April 9, 2016 fight would be the last for his career as he plans to devote his full time possibly as a senator if he wins in the May 2016 national elections in the Philippines.
Right now, Pacquiao is favored to make it to the magic 12 list of senatorial bets.
The choice of Bradley is unlikely to draw out Mayweather, though, as the former is someone whom Pacquiao defeated convincingly in 2014.
A slim chance of goating Mayweather could be a perfect performance, although a vastly improved Bradley could make such pretty much an uphill climb.
Nevertheless, Pacquiao's focus needs to be on Desert Storm, who is expected to employ the same kind of strategy he did over Brandon Rios back in November 2015, winning that bout via impressive total knockout (TKO).
Bradley has something to prove as well despite winning in 2012. Not many were impressed with that win, something justified when he lost via unanimous decision in 2014.
