Manny Pacquiao wants a “go” at the big fight again. It sounds like he wants a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Once “Pac-Man” recovers from shoulder surgery, he’s open to getting back in the ring against Mayweather according to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. Arum spilled the beans with ESPN. He suggests that the two could fight as early as next April, which is when the MGM is planning to open a new 20,000-seat arena in Las Vegas. Pacquiao is set to undergo right rotator cuff surgery this week for what sources calls a “significant tear.” Apparently, he suffered the injury over two weeks before Saturday’s lack-luster-in-the-ring but astonishing-by-the-bags-of-money fight, but failed to disclose it to the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Pacquiao is already facing legal action from at least two people in Las Vegas who have filed class-action lawsuits. Those upset fans say he may have purposely concealed the injury.
The bout is expected to generate a final tally of more than $400 million in revenue between ticket sales, pay-per-view sales and wagering. Yep, $400 million.
