Floyd Mayweather officially in talks to rematch Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas

FLOYD Mayweather is officially in talks to rematch Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas next year with his record on the line, it has been revealed.

The American in 2015 beat Pacquiao over 12 rounds following a half decade wait for the pair of superstar rivals to agree terms.

But eight years on and the boxing legends are set to renew their rivalry for a sequel following their £500million blockbuster original.

Global Titans, who are promoting Mayweather’s next exhibition bout in Dubai, are leading the talks between the two sets of camps.

Their CEO Uday Singh told SunSport: “We’re working on Floyd and Manny Pacquaio already.

“And the announcement could be made as early as December for a big bout next year for Floyd and Manny Pacquiao. A rematch, not an exhibition.” Mayweather, 45, retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34, but has had four exhibition bouts since. And he has always talked down returning to put his perfect 50-0 record on the line, especially against Pacquiao, 43.– thesun.co.uk
