Floyd Mayweather revealed on Saturday that he will be coming out of retirement for a rematch with Manny Pacquiao later this year.
"I'm coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year," Mayweather, 41, said on his Instagram account. "Another 9 figure pay day on the way."
An accompanying video showed the two fighters at a music festival in Tokyo but it was difficult to hear what they were saying.
In a later video obtained by ESPN, Mayweather says, "Tokyo Japan here we go.... I'm coming back in December."He added, "I'm going to take it (the belt) from him like I did before. We gonna get the payday and I don't want no shoulder excuses."
A rematch had been speculated for years after the two met in a ballyhooed 2015 fight.
Undefeated Mayweather scored a unanimous decision that earned him an estimated $220million (£168.3m). Pacquiao later said he was hampered by a right shoulder injury.
Mayweather was back in the ring
in 2017, winning by a technical knockout over mixed martial arts world
champion Conor McGregor to run his boxing record to 50-0.
He earned a reported $300m (£229.5m) and McGregor $100m (£76.5m) in
one of the richest fights in history. Pacquiao (60-7-2) last fought in
July, knocking out Argentine Lucas Matthysse.Source: Yahoo.com
