Floyd Mayweather retired after his victory over Andre Berto on September 12, 2015, but a massive pay day was able to get him back into the ring for a tilt with Conor McGregor. Now, just over one year after his win over The Notorious MMA, it appears Mayweather is heading back to the ring for another massive pay day with a very familiar opponent.
The 41-year-old undefeated boxer is currently in Tokyo, Japan, where he ran into a familiar face in Manny Pacquiao at a concert. Of course, some words were exchanged between the two, and it looks like they’ll take things back into the ring later this year.
Mayweather posted a video of the exchange between the two boxers on his Instagram account with the following caption.
“I’m coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year. Another 9 figure pay day on the way @mayweatherpromotions”
Pacquiao also shared a video on his Instagram account that shows Mayweather screaming about setting up the fight in December, and also calls it “easy work”.
As for Pacquiao, he seems pretty into the idea as well based on his caption.
“50-1 #NoExcuses”
As of right now the two seem ready to go for December, but we'll have to wait and see for an official fight announcement with a set date.
