Freddie Roach, the coach of former world champion in eight weight categories Manny Pacquiao, said that his ward still wants to arrange a rematch with Floyd Mayweather.
“We would like to fight Mayweather again. Will Pacquiao hold an exhibition fight with him? No, Manny’s not interested. Pacquiao is supported by boxing fans, and we are guided by them.
A fight with Josh Taylor? It can definitely take place. But we just take one fight at a time. Do you know what is typical for Manny? He does not just choose an opponent with a high rating, because the world loves him. Manny wants to fight with real fighters. He will challenge the best, “ Freddie Roach told Sky Sports.
Recall that in 2015, Pacquiao lost to Mayweather by unanimous decision. After that, Floyd had a fight with UFC star Conor McGregor and ended his career, while the 42-year-old Filipino continues to fight to this day. In particular, Pacquiao will fight Yordenis Ugas this weekend.
