Last month, Floyd Mayweather told the whole world, on Instagram, that he was looking to return to boxing in December to fight Manny Pacquiao. At that point, many thought Mayweather-Pacquiao 2 was going to happen, but now, according to Pacquiao, he will be fighting Adrien Broner in January.
According to Mayweather, Pacquiao is now with Al Haymon, and instead of a rematch with Pacquiao, Mayweather believes that the best fight for Pacquiao is Broner.
“What I’ve been working on is communicating with Al Haymon,” Mayweather told TMZ Sports. “Me and Al Haymon have been communicating, we’ve been talking and trying to come up with the best solution for all the fighters that are under our umbrella, so Pacquiao is now under our umbrella; the Mayweather and Haymon umbrella.
“I think the best fight for Pacquiao; I told Al Haymon that the best fight for Pacquiao is probably the Adrien Broner fight.”
Pacquiao-Broner is an exciting fight. The 39-year-old Pacquiao still has a big name in the sport of boxing, and Broner has a lot of popularity in the sport, too. I think the fight could do some solid numbers.
If I had to pick a winner today, I would go with Pacquiao. Every time Broner has stepped up in competition, he’s lost. Therefore, I think Pacquiao wins the fight.
