The long awaited rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather may be months away if the Pac-Man wins his bout against Australian challenger Jeff Horn this weekend.
The Legendary Filipino boxer is believed to be the favorite when he defends his world title against Horn in Brisbane.
Freddie Roach who made this disclosure described the match as key to securing a rematch with Mayweather. “He (Horn) can derail us really badly. Manny is, I think, in a must-win situation. He wants a rematch with Mayweather,”
“And I mean to get Mayweather you have to look good against Jeff Horn, he has to look good, he has to be impressive. “ I think there is a lot riding on this fight and I feel Manny has to look really good in this fight and the way the training camp went, I think he will.”
The 38 year-old boxer retired briefly in 2016 before staging a comeback against Vargas in November 2016. He was defeated by Mayweather in a fight of the century in 2015.
