THUMBS-UP...

“Yeah, he (Mayweather) said, ‘Not bad.’ But again, you know Floyd’s got a lot on his plate. He’s a busy guy like Manny so we appreciate the fact that he did come.

“You know, I don’t want to make too much of it but I think they both have a lot of respect for each other. That’s the bottom line,” said Koncz here in LA Monday.

Pacquiao has expressed his willingness to do the rematch if the fans want it, hinting that he should be back in the ring between March to May in 2017, when Senate is in recess.

Mayweather has yet to issue a statement whether he’s open to the rematch.

But Bob Arum, who promoted Saturday’s fight, said all signs point to Mayweather coming out of retirement, and hopefully, to face Pacquiao.

“Based on my experience, I feel like (Floyd’s) getting the itch to come back,” Arum told leading entertainment portal TMZ.

Pacquiao did just enough to spark talks of a rematch.

“So, it was a good performance. Now we just have to see what network wants to pick us up because we’re free. We don’t have any contract with Showtime or HBO,” said Koncz.

“And then you know the people think that Manny’s performance was good enough, then hopefully Floyd thinks it was good enough and if the fans want it, then we’ll do hopefully a rematch,” he added.

Koncz had wished for a knockout win by Pacquiao.

“Again as I said earlier I would’ve liked to see more of an aggressive Manny because I want him to put an exclamation mark. But maybe if we would’ve done that, we would’ve scared ( inaudible) out of him (Mayweather),” he said.
