http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/boxing/manny-pacquiao-says-he-s-in-talks-for-a-floyd-mayweather-rematch-190800705.htmlMayweather won that bout on May 2 in Las Vegas and has subsequently announced his retirement following a Sept. 12 victory over Andre Berto.
But that hasn't stopped rumors of a Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch. The source of the latest rumor, though, is a bit unusual.
Pacquiao himself told Agence France Presse during a trip to Doha that he was in talks for either a rematch with Mayweather or a bout with Amir Khan. He also said there is a chance the fight could be held in the Middle East.
Huh? Isn't Floyd retired?

(9,350 posts)Yes, it has been said that Floyd Mayweather is retired. However, I do not think this is the first time there has been talk of Mayweather fighting at least one more fight.
I think both Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao should retire. Why continue to take blows to the head and the body when you have more than enough money for yourself and your kids to live off of if you all do not spend the money foolishly? I understand that they are boxers and competitors, but why end up with either brain damage, or greater brain damage when you have already made hundreds of millions of dollars.

There are absolutely no talks/negotiations going on. Manny has told reporters that Floyd is one of three people he would consider fighting in 2016. But that is the only conversation that has taken place.
