Pacquiao eyeing Mayweather rematch, says trainer

TIL Desk Sports/ A rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao could be on the cards if the legendary Filipino boxer wins his bout against Australian challenger Jeff Horn this weekend, his trainer said today.

Pacquiao, who was outpointed by Mayweather in the “Fight of the Century” two years ago, will be the strong favourite when he defends his world title against the unbeaten Horn in Brisbane.

But the Horn fight could be critical to whether the “Pac-Man” secures another superfight with his American rival, Freddie Roach told reporters in Brisbane.”He (Horn) can derail us really badly. Manny is, I think, in a must-win situation. He wants a rematch with Mayweather,” Roach said.

“And I mean to get Mayweather you have to look good against Jeff Horn, he has to look good, he has to be impressive. “I think there is a lot riding on this fight and I feel Manny has to look really good in this fight and the way the training camp went, I think he will.”
