Floyd Mayweather remains undefeated. After beating Manny Pacquiao in their fight last May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena, the American fighter remains as the man to beat in professional boxing. However, the reception of the "Fight of the Century" was not that great.
The public was not really satisfied with the way the two fought. So, shortly after the result of the bout, some thought if there might have a Floyd Mayweather Jr - Manny Pacquiao fight rematch.
While the majority are looking forward to the rematch of the Floyd Mayweather Jr - Manny Pacquiao fight, one veteran boxing analyst thinks it is unnecessary. He event went on to say that the next time these two fighters will meet will only be for the sole purpose of money.
"I hope we don't [a rematch]," said veteran boxing commentator Al Bernstein who used to work for ESPN and Top Rank Boxing series. Bernstein was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2012.
"Honestly, that would feel cynical to me. I don't know if they will. Me personally, I'd like to see everybody move on."
Before that statement, Bernstein discussed how the Floyd Mayweather Jr - Manny Pacquiao fight failed to help bring back boxing to its glory days despite the fact that it features two of the most polarized names in the sport.
"It was a lost opportunity for boxing," he said of the Floyd Mayweather Jr - Manny Pacquiao fight.
"Boxing has had a mini renaissance in the last year or two. In the US, it's been put on over the air networks. This fight was something that could have propelled the sport further and not only was the fight unsatisfying to some people -- although it wasn't a terrible fight, it was a great fight, but because of the aftermath, everything got tainted because of these claims of an injury and Manny Pacquiao not being one hundred percent," Bernstein told ontheropesboxing.com.
"It became a real lost opportunity and all the press after is negative, instead of being positive. That's not a great thing for the sport but boxing is never going away and this year there are great match-ups being made, so hopefully that can somewhat counteract this."
