Manny Pacquiao's next fight is still in limbo as he is yet to undergo a formal rehabilitation.
This decision of the Filipino boxer has even irked his promoter and Top Rank CEO Bob Arum. He thinks the eight-division champion is acting unprofessional.
For one person from Pacman's arch-rival Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao's return should happen, there is no other choice.
Jeff Mayweather, uncle and trainer of the undefeated American fighter, said Manny Pacquiao's next fight should happen soon because he still has to prove something. Although Pacman's name is already cemented in the sport, the Filipino boxer must make sure he will return triumphantly, Jeff thinks.
"Pacquiao should be set forever. That kind of money over there (Philippines), it's not 160 million, it's probably like 80 billion. This dude should never have to fight ever again in his life if he doesn't want to," he told host Jenna J of On The Ropes Boxing Radio.
"But I'm sure he's going to fight basically because he feels he has something to prove to his fans," he added.
Manny Pacquiao's last fight was against Floyd Mayweather Jr in a match people deemed underwhelming.
Pacman lost in the battle and revealed afterward that he had a shoulder injury a night before the fight at the MGM Grand Arena.
Jeff Mayweather thinks Manny Pacquiao disappointed his fans and for that, a come back is a must.
"The one thing that he was supposed to prove to his fans, he disappointed them. He's gotta come back, even if it's just to leave the sport with dignity," he said.
Right now, Manny Pacqiao's next fight is put on hold as he is still busy with his political obligations and humanitarian works in his country.
His rival, Floyd Mayweather Jr, meanwhile, is already busy for his next fight schedule two months from now. His next opponent is former world welterweight champion Andre Berto, according to TMZ Sports.
Manny Pacquiao said his next fight is this 2016.
