Boxing legends Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are in talks for a rematch.<\/p>\n

That's according to the 44-year-old Pacman himself, who called time on his professional career after defeat to Yordenis Ugas in August 2021 but has since cashed in on the exhibition scene like Mayweather.<\/p>\n

He last year fought South Korean YouTuber DK Yoo, who has a martial arts background, winning a unanimous decision after a six-round bout. Both he and Money, 46, have flirted with the idea of running back their May 2015 "fight of the century".<\/p>\n

Eight-and-a-half-years ago an injured Pacquiao suffered a unanimous decision defeat – and he's clearly keen for another bite at the cherry. <\/p>\n

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, he said: "I'm still active, I'm an active guy, I'm actively training. I have an exhibition match this coming December."<\/p>\n

When asked to reveal more about his next in-ring appearance, he added: "In Japan. We're working on it, the opponent. We're working with Mayweather. Yes [a Mayweather fight]."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pacquiao even suggested it could be a professional bout, which would mean Mayweather putting his legendary 50-0 unbeaten record on the line. "I don't know, if he wants [to]. We're still working on it," he continued.<\/p>\n

The Filipino fighter was a 60\u20134 amateur before going pro, finishing with a 62\u20138\u20132 record. Despite fighting all his life, he's still not shying away from any challenge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And as well as potentially exacting revenge on Mayweather, he's targeting a shock return at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, with his nation filing a request recently. "Yes that's what we are trying to do right now," he confirmed in the interview in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

"A request to the Olympics Committee to allow me to participate in the Olympics because there is an age limit, so if they accept me to participate in the Olympics I can fight."<\/p>\n
