By Nick Giongco While 2020 holds little promise for a fight, 2021 looms as a blockbuster possibility for Manny Pacquiao. With major sports on hold owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Pacquiao has began the process of accepting the likelihood that he might not get the chance to slip on a pair of gloves and climb into the ring with another fighter this year.

Reminded that the entire world remains consumed by the pandemic, Pacquiao believes “everything’s going to be alright soon.” All right. But who is on the horizon for Pacquiao in 2021? Before mentioning the name of the guy he is likely to tangle with, Pacquiao smiled. “Baka (Floyd) Mayweather,” said the 41-year-old Pacquiao, who despite being inactive since July 2019, says he feels marvelously fit. Coincidentally, Mayweather, 43, also remains on training mode nowadays although he’s never allowed himself to bloat even before. Last week, Mayweather brushed off rumors that he is attempting to come back after videos of him working out made the rounds on the internet. But with the lure of megabucks, Mayweather might be swayed to revert to active status for a huge payday. After all, Mayweather’s 2015 clash with Pacquiao drew a staggering $600 million in revenue.
