But Mayweather came out of his alleged retirement the next year to fight “Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya in what became – at least until Mayweather’s megafight against Pacquiao this year – the biggest moneymaking boxing event of all time.

Manny Pacquiao is attempting to negotiate a rematch against Floyd Mayweather for what is set to be his final fight in April.
“It would be one hell of a fight”, Arum said.
That appears to have changed with Khan getting the vibe that his former training partner would not entertain such a fight after Floyd Mayweather went into retirement with an easy points win over Andre Berto last month.
Nothing is cast in stone for the meantime, but Arum, definitely, has to deliver in terms of choosing the right opponent for Pacquiao’s last fight.
Lastly, here’s what Flores has to say to Khan. Both sides pointed fingers, but they eventually worked it out in May, a few five years after most fans reached their ultimate fever pitch for it. The fight sold well – more than four million people purchased the $100 pay-per-view – but the fight itself was a dud.
It’s too bad Khan hasn’t stood up on his hind legs and told his management that he wants to be matched against quality opponents, because it’s his career that has been hurt with the soft match-making that’s been done for him. That’s a mistake, a stupid mistake. “I controlled him. I had no problem moving around”.
Ever since Pacquiao said this is going to likely be his last fight of his career, Arum hasn’t been saying Khan’s name too much.
Juan Manuel Marquez reiterated that he will not agree to face Manny Pacquiao again because he believes he will be victimized by a questionable decision again.
The dark horse in the Pacquiao sweepstakes if Brandon Rios, who will need to destroy Bradley and look sensational doing it. He can’t just beat Bradley.
