We’re One Step Closer to Pacquiao vs. Mayweather…

December 23rd, 2008 . by Dell

Every since Manny Pacquiao’s destruction of Oscar De La Hoya, many fight fans (including myself) are salivating at the possibility of Mayweather un-retiring to face Pac. A few weeks ago, Pacquiao’s trainer Freddy Roach gave the first positive sign, stating Pacquiao would fight him as long as it wasn’t at 147lbs. We’ve now received positive news from Mayweather that very well could lead to the megafight we’re all craving.

“Six months after announcing his retirement from boxing and walking away from his perch as pound-for-pound king and welterweight world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has given the first indication that he is considering a comeback.

“Floyd has given Team Mayweather the green light to go out there and evaluate the biggest fights for him, to come back to him and present it to him. Then he will consider it,” Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather’s best friend and adviser, told ESPN.com on Saturday.

“If what we present him is something he’s interested in doing, he will do it.”

This translates to “find out how much money I can make for fighting Manny”. If the number is high enough… we could have a boxer’s dream come true next fall.

Let’s hope it works out.
