Am I the only one that wants to see a Thurman-Pacquiao rematch?

[WhatDisButtonDo]

Was a very competitive fight, interesting back and forth action with guys that can punch, are defensively pretty solid, but not too good defensively where they can avoid each other for 12 rounds.

I don't want to See Thurman relegated to fighting gatekeepers. Plus I can see it like this schedule lining up.


Crawford vs Whoever in late 2019
Spence vs Porter late 2019
Pacq/Thurman early 2020.


Crawford and Spence more than likely win.
Thurman or Pacquiao Winner goes on to fight in Spence in Middle 2020, with a welterweight undisputed fight in late 2020 against Crawford(after which Spence would move up per his words)

I wouldn't mind it, but there are better fights out there

Which fight would you prefer to see? I think it's 50/50 in terms of them giving Thurman a rematch. Plus, they did around 500k PPV buys, which is honestly around 150k more than I expected them to do. With proper/better promotion this time around they could do around 700k, Whoever wins can fight spence and more than likely will break 1m ppv buys. I don't usually discuss money but at this point in Manny's career i'm sure he doesn't mind tough fights as long as the money is right.

I wouldn't mind seeing it either with more stringent testing this time. Thurman was only a KD away from it being a draw.

I wanna see Spence get some real fights honestly so I'm rooting on Spence vs Manny being the next rd of PBC 147lb fights.

But thinking of nothing else at 147 I wouldn't be mad at seeing Manny vs Keith II. It was among the better fights this year.

Pac only has a limited amount of fights left.

It wasn't that close. It was a clear W for pac.

No my friend. I would like to see it too. Second time around and Keef wins it, imho.

It's a good enough fight but Pacquiao clearly won a grueling fight. If you were the 40 year old Pac at the end of your career would you want to try to fight a guy you just beat in what would be another hard fight or look for another good fighter to fight. Thurman isn't a gate keeper and can make good money fighting Broner, KOing Khan and fighting Danny and Mikey Garcia and getting another title shot if he keeps winning.

[Robbie Barrett]

Pacquiao clearly won, wasn't close. There'll be far less interest in a rematch than the first. Pacquiao doesn't have time to mess about with rematches either. Thurman had his shot, fought like a moron and lost.

[GrandpaBernard]

Thurman needed a better performance to warrant an immediate rematch

Manny beat Thurman too clearly and even f’d him up in some rounds
