Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao Rematch Possible! The Money's Father Says Pacman 'Can Get it Again'
Boxing great Manny Pacquiao is set to retire after his third and final match against Timothy Bradley on April 9 inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. His longtime trainer, Freddie Roach, has already predicted a knockout win over Bradley in nine rounds.
On the opposite corner, "Desert Storm" has Teddy Atlas on his corner that could prove to be a difference maker. Atlas helped Bradley train and defeat Brandon Rios via technical knockout and could possibly do the same to Pacquiao.
The reported plan by Bradley's camp was to do what Floyd Mayweather did during the richest fight in boxing history last May 2015. However, Roach blasted Atlas, saying that his fighter is very different from Mayweather.
"He can never be Mayweather. No way, not even close. It's night and day," Roach said.
Speaking of Mayweather
There are always rumors regarding a possible rematch between "Pacman" and "Money." But how can that happen when Mayweather is already retired? Is he going to come out of retirement and face Pacquiao for another big money fight?
His father, Floyd Sr. recently said On the Ropes Boxing Radio that he doesn't know what his son's plans are. Nevertheless, the older Mayweather said that if Pacquiao wants a shot against the undefeated boxer, he can get it.
"Pacquiao wants to do it again, for what does he want to do it? No one knows. The only thing good there is Floyd's gonna whoop his ass where he can get enough money to go about his business and sit his ass down somewhere," Floyd Sr. said.
The boxing trainer also mentioned that a rematch with Pacquiao will be another simple fight for "Money." He added, "It's been a long time coming and it came, and when it came, Pacquiao got it. And guess what? Pacquiao can get it again."
If Not Pacquiao, Who?
"It would be good for me to come back for number 50 and fight the undefeated Danny Garcia, you know, at the MGM Grand. You know, since Danny Garcia is undefeated and he's very explosive," Mayweather said in an interview with Fight Hype last Feb. 15.
Garcia has a record of 32 wins, no losses and zero draws with 18 wins by knockout. He's only 27 years old and is already a two-division world champion.
He defeated Robert Guerrero last Jan. 23 to win the vacant WBC welterweight title. Garcia was supposed to defend his belt against Amir Khan. However, Khan opted for the bigger money fight versus Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on May 7.
