Pacquiao-Mayweather sa Mayo, posible

- Gilbert Espeña

IBINUNYAG ni eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao na posible ang rematch kay dating poundfor-pound No. 1 Floyd Mayweather Jr. kapag tinalo niya si Adrien Bronner sa Enero.

Sa pagsasalit­a sa Oxford University sa United Kingdom, idiniin ni Pacquiao na hindi siya magkakaroo­n ng katahimika­n kapag hindi nagka-rematch kay Mayweather na tumalo sa kanya sa puntos sa sagupaang binansagan­g ‘The Fight Of The Century’ noong Mayo 2. 2015 sa Las Vegas, Nevada sa United States.

“I will have a couple more fights left in boxing,” sabi ni Pacquiao panayam na nalathala sa The Sun tabloid. “First I am fighting Broner and after that there is a big possibilit­y of the Mayweather fight.”

Nakatakda namang sumagupa si Mayweather sa 20-anyos at walang talong kickboxing star na si Tenshin Nasukawa sa Disyembre 31 sa Tokyo, Japan.

Naniniwala si Pacquiao na kapwa sila magwawagi ni Mayweather para magharap sa Mayo 2019.

“He is coming back and we are talking about a rematch but we have to deal with these fights first. We met in Japan and he said he wanted to have a rematch; not this time but maybe after the January fight,” diin ni Pacquiao.

“There is a big possibilit­y because Floyd is coming back into boxing,” dagdag ni Pacquiao kaugnay sa 41-anyos na si Mayweather. “He is fighting in December and I am fighting in January. So a big possibilit­y after that next year that we will discuss a rematch.”
