Is Mayweather vs Pacquiao totally off the table? Pacquiao facing Thurman in July

Mayweather vs Pacquiao was the dream boxing rematch which we will never get to see! The two icons of the sport clashed against each other back in May 2015 when Floyd ‘The Money’ Mayweather emerged victorious.

However, of late there was an active discussion in the boxing community that the two will go at it again. The odds of that happening do not look so good now as Pacquiao will face off against Thurman in July.

Following his epic bout against Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao got involved in the political scenario of The Philippines, where he became a senator. He has since been semi-active but continues to fight every few months. However, this bout with Thurman reduces the chances of Mayweather vs Pacquiao II.
