Floyd Mayweather Jr. has one fight remaining on his current six-fight contract with Showtime, and he is apparently willing to complete the deal by giving Manny Pacquiao a rematch.
Mayweather reportedly sent a text message to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on Tuesday saying he is open to fighting Pacquiao again. But is a rematch actually plausible?
Pacquiao and Mayweather are not getting any younger. Pacquiao is set to undergo surgery on the shoulder that he injured before his fight against Mayweather, and he could need up to 12 months to recover. Mayweather will be 39 at that point and Pacquiao will be 37.
