LAS
VEGAS (AFP) – Floyd Mayweather accepted an invite to watch Filipino
icon Manny Pacquiao’s World Boxing organization (WBO) title fight on
Saturday, leaving many wondering if a request to step back in the ring
would be next.
Mayweather
had a front row seat at the Thomas & Mack Center to watch Pacquiao
easily beat former champion Jessie Vargas with a unanimous decision
victory.
Pacquiao
said on Sunday that he is eager to avenge his 2015 loss to Mayweather
and he doesn’t feel the contract negotiations would be nearly as
acrimonious as they were for the first fight, which became the richest
in boxing history.
“Not
only for myself, but the fans of boxing want the rematch then why not?”
Pacquiao told a group of reporters at his luxury suite at the Wynn
hotel and casino. “We can easily talk about that it is not a problem.
“Because we now have direct contact to them it would be easier to talk about when there will be a rematch.”
