Mayweather pushing for rematch clause for Pacquiao fight, says Roach


After Manny Pacquiao's dominant win over previously unbeaten Chris Algieri this past weekend, the pressure to fight the Filipino ring icon is again on the shoulders of Floyd Mayweather.
 
Turns out, the much awaited showdown between Pacquiao and Mayweather can happen not just once, but twice according to Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach.
 
"My understanding is that Floyd is insisting on the rematch if Manny beats him, which I believe he will. That’s okay with us," Roach tells Jeff Powell of dailymail.co.uk.
 
"Floyd is afraid of losing his unbeaten record to Manny. But that’s not what defines greatness. Ali lost, Robinson lost, Leonard lost- but they’re still all-time greats. What counts is fighting the best of your era."
 
A rematch clause is a fighter's right to exercise a rematch against his opponent.
 
Mayweather has made such demands against Robert Guerrero in 2013 and Marcos Maidana earlier this year. — JST, GMA News
