No Pacquiao-Floyd rematch, for now

A rematch with Floyd Mayweather may be out of the picture for now, but that doesn’t mean Manny Pacquiao won’t have any worthy opponent.

No Pacquiao-Floyd rematch, for now
Sean Gibbons

Consider the names Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter.

These are just some of those under the radar of boxing legend Pacquaio for his next possible opponent when he returns to the ring by early 2020.

Sean Gibbons, president of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, mentioned the three fighters as among the possible opponents of the 40-year-old fighting senator, who is just coming off a 12-round split decision win over Keith Thurman last month.

“Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, there’s other guys out there to fight. Shawn Porter,” Gibbons said as he rattled off the names of the three world champions when he appeared for the first time at the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum at the Amelie Hotel-Manila on Tuesday.

Before taking on the 30-year-old Thurman, Pacquiao’s camp initially considered facing Danny Garcia, the former holder of the World Boxing Council version of the 147-lb. title belt, following his April 20 fight against Adrian Granados.

Mikey Garcia has also been added to the mix, although he lost to reigning International Boxing Federation champion Errol Spence via unanimous decision in his first attempt as a welterweight last March. The 31-year-old Garcia, younger brother of champion trainer Robert Garcia, was a former lightweight and junior welterweight title holder.

Porter, meanwhile, was a former sparring partner of Pacquiao and current WBC champion who’s scheduled for a unification match against Spence this September at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

“Let’s say if Shawn Porter somehow came out winning, he can get into the mix. I’m not against fighting Shawn Porter,” said Gibbons in the session presented by San Miguel Corp., Braska Restaurant, Amelie Hotel-Manila, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation.

That being said, Gibbons made it clear a rematch with Thurman is definitely out of the window.

“He (Thurman) had his opportunity, he had his shot,” stressed the veteran international matchmaker, who once fought as a light-heavyweight.

“If there’s a real demand for it like the (Juan Manuel) Marquez, the (Marco Antonio) Barrera, the (Eric) Morales, those type of fights. If the public has a huge demand to do it again, if there’s an outcry for it. But he (Pacquiao) beat him clean.”

Gibson even reasoned out that there was hardly any controversy generated by the fight other than the outcome of a split decision caused by the score of 114-113 by judge Glen Feldman favoring Thurman.

“There was no controversy. At the end of the day, everybody knows who won the fight,” said the MP Promotions official.

Gibson did admit the object of Pacquiao’s camp is still to get Mayweather Jr.

But until Floyd Jr. makes everything official that he’s coming out of retirement to face the Filipino boxing great, speculations of Mayweather willing to mix it up again with Pacquiao will just remain all talk.

“End of the story on the Floyd thing right now. There is no fight, there is no possibility at this moment. Floyd has said numerous time that he’s retired, he’s enjoying his retirement,” said Gibson.

“We’ll let thing unfold and see what happens.”

Meanwhile, MP Promotions will have a big boxing card coming up this Aug. 24 in San Juan City when Johnriel Casimero stakes his World Boxing Organization interim bantamweight crown against dangerous Mexican Cesar Ramirez.
