Manny v Floyd II?

- ■ BOXING

FLOYD MAYWEATHER has claimed he will return to the ring in December for a shock rematch with Manny Pacquiao.

The American star, 41, met the Filipino puncher at a music festival in Tokyo and posted a video of the pair talking on Instagram yesterday.

The caption on the post read: “I’m coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year. Another nine-figure pay day on the way.”

It is understood no serious negotiatio­ns for a money-spinning rematch have taken place yet.

Mayweather earned almost £200million after beating the Filipino in May 2015.

‘Money’ retired four months later but returned for a £100m fight against UFC star Conor McGregor who he stopped in 10 rounds last year.
