‘I’m still active, it’s up to him’: Pacquaio still willing to rematch Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao returns in an upcoming title bid but still wouldn’t mind settling the score with Floyd.

Manny Pacquiao sat down with Andre Ward to discuss his story and career, which eventually led up to a monumental showdown against Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao would come up short in that fight, but with Pacquiao soon returning to the ring in a title shot against Mario Barrios, he reflects on that huge event and says he’d still be willing to have a rematch with his old foe.

Here’s some of what Pacquiao had to say with regards to the big fight but you can watch the full segment in the link at the top.

Pacquiao on the experience of being in a megafight when he fought Mayweather

“It’s good but despite all those things right after the fight I went to the hospital and got operated, my shoulder. It really hurt. After the operation, [it was really painful].”

On whether Mayweather was as good as he anticipated

“No, that’s his style. I knew it. But the thing is, I review — I’m expecting that I won the fight ‘cause he don’t throw a lot of punches, I throw a lot of punches. And I review the CompuBox, like from slow motion from first round to 12 rounds, I slow motion it, how many punches get connected and how many punches of him connected.

“But that’s boxing. I’m not complaining or making [an excuse], it just happened that way. It happened to me many times like Jeff Horn, Bradley won, like Bradley won the fight.”

On if he’s wanted a rematch with Mayweather

“I’m still active. It’s up to him if he’s going to fight...Now my right hand is complete so...you will see my condition in the [Barrios] fight.”
