Pacquiao dreamed he lost to Mayweather one month before fight
Arum was reportedly shocked with Pacquiao’s claims as the American businessman considers Mayweather retired and insisted that he had not contact anyone about a rematch.
It could be Amir Khan, it could be (Danny) Garcia, it could a rematch with (Floyd) Mayweather, I am ready for anyone.
Boxing promoter Bob Arum has refuted a report that negotiations are ongoing for a rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
At the AIBA World Boxing Championships in Doha, the possibility of a rematch was floated around by the second richest sportsperson in the World.
“I will fight anybody, anywhere”, said Pacquiao, who is likely to run for a seat in the Philippines senate next May. “I need 100 percent of your support and prayers”, Pacquiao said.wDespite the success he has achieved as one of the best fighters of his generation, Pacquiao has remained humble, winning the hearts of Filipinos and fans around the world.
“One month before the fight I dreamt that I lost the decision,” Manny told Davila of ANC’s “HeadStart” in the Philippines.
He added: “We are going to finalise by November or December”.
Pacquiao confirmed he is in negotiations with Mayweather and Khan but said he had no preference about who is opponent will be.
Mayweather announced his retirement after his latest match against Andre Berto in September, whom critics stated was overmatched by the undefeated American. “The election is coming next year, May, and before that I will probably have one fight.” he said.
Boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao’s career-ending fight may happen in Doha, the “People’s Champ” said yesterday.
The British boxer is also expected to visit the championships at the weekend.
“It was great to learn about Qatar’s 2030 Vision, which I think all countries can learn from”. “I will have to give up the other things that require my attention”, he said. I believe I can now help more people, especially the poor and the needy.
The Filipino legend was welcomed to Qatar’s capital by Thani Abdulrahman Al-Kuwari, secretary general of the Qatar Olympic Committee, as well as AIBA President C K Wu and Yousuf Ali Al-Kazim, President of the Qatar Boxing Federation and executive director of the Local Organising Committee (LOC). “If you are a senator, your focus should only be your job and your family”, Pacquiao told the news agency.
