Having been awarded the fight by all three judges, Manny called out Mayweather who sat ringside to watch the match. The pair first fought four years ago when Mayweather eased to victory but Pacquiao insists a shoulder injury hampered him throughout and has long demanded a second shot.
He said: "God gave me this good health and blessings and at the age of 40 I can still do this. I proved it in my last fight and I’ve proved it again; at the age of 40, Manny Paquiao is still here.
I wanted to push more but my trainer said it would be careless, to wait for him and counter so that’s what I did. Tell Floyd to come back to the ring and we will fight, I’m willing to fight Floyd."
Philippino boxer, Manny Pacquiao has just defeated his American opponent, Adrien Broner to retain his WBA 'regular' welterweight title in his 70th professional bout.
The 40-year-old boxer defeated Adrien, 29 with a dominating unanimous decision in front of a sellout crowd of 13,025 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The judges scored it 117-111, 116-112, 116-12 all in favour of Pacquaio.
After the win, Pacquaio said: 'I feel so happy because I did my best in the fight and in training. Our strategy we user a lot and we did a lot in the training camp for this victory.
'I am so happy because God gave me good health and at the age of 40 I can still give my best. I want to be aggressive more but my coach told me I just wait to counter him.
'I don't believe my career is over. I prove it. Manny Pacquaio's journey still continues. I want to push more but my trainer said just take time and wait for him so I could counter.
