Pacquiao only interested in Mayweather rematch

http://openinground.com/article/pacquiao-only-interested-in-mayweather-rematch/ June 2, 2015 -OpeningRound Staff Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) is said to be only interested in coming back for a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and no one else, according to an insider for Philstar. Pacquiao is still recovering from shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff that he aggravated in his last fight against Mayweather on May 2nd. Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum is interested in bringing him back next year in a fight in Dubai against possibly someone like Amir Khan or Kell Brook. However, the insider says that Pacquiao isn’t interested in fighting in a Middle Eastern country. Pacquiao apparently only wants the Mayweather fight, which would obviously take place in Las Vegas. It’s unknown why Arum wants Pacquiao to fight in Dubai. He already had him fighting in Macau, China on two occasions in fights that brought in poor PPV numbers. It would seem like it’s not in Pacquiao’s best interest to fight outside of the U.S, because that’s where his big PPV money comes from. “There is talk in Pacquiao’s camp that if and when he decides to return to the ring, the man opposite his corner will be only Mayweather,” said Joaquin Henson via Philstar.com. “Pacquiao isn’t interested to fight anybody else, said an insider, quashing speculation of an Amir Khan duel sometime in the future, somewhere in the Middle East.”
