In 2015, for Money’s third last fight, he touched gloves with Manny Pacquiao. With three welterweight titles on the line, the fight was one spectacle. One of the biggest events in present-day boxing, Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, sold out inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
It has been over seven years since Manny and ‘Money’ stepped together inside the ring. Prior to his second exhibition fight in Japan, Mayweather came across his old rival, Manny.

Manny Pacquiao reminds Floyd Mayweather of humility
Pacquiao, who retired last year, recently announced a return to the ring. According to sources, ‘PacMan’ is likely to fight a YouTuber in an exhibition fight soon this year.
However, in a reply to Mayweather claiming how unassailable he is, the Philippino said, “He’s older than me. I am still young so… What I have done or accomplished in boxing I think it’s one of a kind because to get here in eight different divisions is not easy.”
“I’m not trying to boast about what I have accomplished in life but I’m just saying this to repeat [in case] you might forget that. The best fighter in the world but has he humility.
In 2018, Mayweather fought in Japan for the first time. He squared off with kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a New Year’s Eve bout. Mayweather mocked him with his movements in the ring and the bout ended a little over two minutes in the first round and in a blink.

“No matter how you cut it, no matter how you slice it. No matter if you go hundred years back or three hundred years back all the way to now, there’s only one best. And that’s Floyd Mayweather.”
