Manny Pacquiao claims Floyd Mayweather is “scared to death” of rematch

Manny Pacquiao believes long-term rival Floyd Mayweather is "scared to death" of pursuing an illustrious second meeting.

Pacquiao will return to the ring in his maiden exhibition appearance this weekend when he takes on Korean YouTuber DK Yoo at the Seoul Arena in South Korea on Saturday night. The Filipino star retired after a devastating defeat to Yordenis Ugas last year, but after coming up short in his presidential campaign he elected to make his return away from the professional ranks.

Since announcing the relaunch of his career on the exhibition circuit, fans have continually begged for both Mayweather and Pacquiao to stage a rematch of their infamous 2015 clash which ended in defeat for the Filipino. But Pacquiao has accepted it is unlikely he will receive a second opportunity, particularly with his demand for a professional fight.
