Manny Pacquiao condemns Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition in Japan

Manny Pacquiao

MANNY PACQUIAO was unimpressed with Floyd Mayweatherโ€™s recent appearance in Japan. Mayweather was booked for a three round exhibition against Tenshin Nasukawa. He destroyed the young Japanese fighter inside the first round.

โ€œAnd about the exhibition of Floyd Mayweather in Japan, itโ€™s my first time to see an exhibition that you knock your opponent out. Supposedly an exhibition is just to entertain people and nothing serious for three rounds. Thatโ€™s what I understand about exhibitions,โ€ Pacquiao said.

โ€œPacmanโ€ has a long standing rivalry with Mayweather, losing to the American in a high profile bout in 2015. He does want a rematch with Mayweather but insists meeting him at a basketball game recently was coincidental.

โ€œSurprisingly, I didnโ€™t know that he was there at the game.ย I was invited on that Filipino Heritage Night at the Clippersโ€™ game.ย I didnโ€™t know that he was there and then when they were throwing t-shirts to the crowds I saw him.ย And then I just say, โ€œHello.โ€ Thatโ€™s it,โ€ Pacquiao said. โ€œYou cannot avoid the people that will ask if thereโ€™s a rematch with Floyd Mayweather because I think they have a big question mark in their mind and also in their heart about that what happened in that fight.

โ€œIโ€™m just answering them that I donโ€™t have a plan yet.ย Iโ€™m very focused on this fight January 19 against Adrien Broner because Broner is a former champion and heโ€™s the kind of fighter that you cannot underestimate or take him lightly.โ€
