Frank Warren doesn’t think Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao ought to be stepping back contained in the ring.
Mayweather and Pacquiao will meet in a rematch on September 19 in Las Vegas 11 years on from their historic first fight.
The amount of cash the 2 rivals generates the primary time around meant that one other meeting between them was all the time going to be a pretty option.
That being said, there’s an issue as as to whether fans are excited about seeing it, with Viddal Riley questioning if anyone still cares.
Hall of Fame promoter Warren shares the identical opinion and went one step further by saying that neither man ought to be fighting again.

Frank Warren says Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao shouldn’t be fighting at their ages
Manny Pacquiao has said his rematch with Floyd Mayweather might be even greater than their 2015 bout that smashed PPV records.
It’s sure to attract an enormous audience on Netflix, but many remember the primary fight for happening too late of their careers, let alone a rematch 11 years later.
Queensbury’s Frank Warren says it isn’t just the fight itself that has caused him to dismiss it.
“No, I don’t,” he responded when asked by TalkSPORT whether he cares about it. “Look, these guys, they’re going to earn some money. Good luck to them. It’s dangerous they’re doing it, I don’t like the thought of it… the underside line is that’s their business, allow them to get on with it. Me, I even have little interest in the fight.”
Mayweather turned 49 yesterday (February 24) and Pacquiao is barely two years younger than his iconic former opponent.
When Warren was asked to elaborate on why he has little interest in the fight, he added, “It’s dangerous. They’re too old and that’s it. They shouldn’t be fighting at that age.”

Warren highlighted that while he didn’t win his first fight in 4 years, Pacquiao did surprise numerous people when he fought to a draw with Mario Barrios last 12 months.
That being said, ‘PacMan’ having 23 more skilled bouts to his name, several wars, and three knockout losses mean that Mayweather should be the brisker fighter.
