Boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather has announced he will be taking on rival Manny Pacquiao in an exhibition rematch in Tokyo, Japan.
“Money” took to his Instagram to share the following video with the news of the matchup. Here’s what Mayweather said.
“Money May, Money May, Money May all day. Betrnk.com. That’s my team in Tokyo, Japan. TMT Tokyo. And of course, I’m Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.’ What I’m working on right now is the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao exhibition right here in Tokyo, Japan. Stay tuned,” Floyd Mayweather said in the clip.
Mayweather revealed no other details of this exhibition bout.
“Money” and “Pacman” first met back in 2015 in what was the biggest money fight in boxing history. After 12 rounds, Mayweather took home a unanimous decision victory over his long-time rival. Since then, Mayweather has fought twice more, first defeating Andre Berto via unanimous decision and then finishing Conor McGregor via TKO in another money fight. He has been retired since then, enjoying his money.
Manny Pacquiao, meanwhile, has stayed very active in boxing since the first Mayweather fight. He’s gone 5-1 since the first fight with his rival, and is currently riding a three-fight win streak with victories over Lucas Matthysse, Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman. After Pacquiao defeated Thurman, he said he wanted to fight Mayweather in a rematch. Apparently Mayweather wants that fight, too, and now it looks like it might happen.
Although the first fight failed to live up to expectations, it still broke numerous pay-per-view records and a rematch should be a big money fight as well. Again, there are no other details other than what Mayweather shared in his Instagram post, but it seems like he will have some more news to share with fight fans very soon.
Are you excited for this exhibition rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao?
I dont know what world youre in but Floyd will always be relevant to boxing, as long as he is promoting and staying busy within the game he is in the game and in a big way.
I’m not saying floyd isn’t relevant and I have floyd ranked higher than manny but you are blind and naive if you don’t believe floyd isn’t using manny name. Floyd always says he is fighting manny then to get a ton spot light on him then he does totally the opposite. He did the same thing last year.
He said he will fight manny in December then it went to he wanted a tune up then after he got paid fo The tune up he said he will never fight manny again and that he is retired.
Floyd is doing the same thing again. Watch him call out manny and fight khabib or something.
That Showtime deal was such a scam. Guaranteed contract which allowed him to cherry pick opponents. Had it not been for the Pac fight, Showtime would have lost their shirt on that 6-fight deal. At least Canelo is fighting some live dogs on the front end of his contract.
Yea, I don’t know. Wasn’t the Canelo fight huge?
I was a big WCW nWo fan back in the dsy. I remember when the nWo tookover WCW & did their own nWo ppv event EVERYTHING was pro nWo ftom the refs to the announcers.
Anyway, i could see an exhibition by tMt looking similar. From the ringcard girls to the judges all tMt. Lol, people bought that nWo ppv back in the day so Im sure this exhibition would do well...

... but he got that money, nevertheless... the rest is but "history"... :) (as about Canelo: it still remains to be proved...)
I wonder if he wishes he’d of fought more in the late 00’s. When he signed the Showtime deal, I was very surprised. Hard to believe that was 6 1/2 years ago.

I wonder if he realizes an exhibition is not going to earn the same revenue as a sanctioned fight between them. Too many fans will shrug this off as "not a real fight".
