Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is set to face social media star Deji on November 13th in Dubai. The bout was officially confirmed following Mayweather’s victory in his exhibition bout against Mikuru Asakura last month. However, it looks like the organizers for the event, Global Titans have already made some future plans for ‘Money’.

In an interview with SunSport, the CEO of the organization Uday Singh revealed that they were working on a potential bout between Mayweather and his longtime rival, Manny Pacquiao. “We’re working on Floyd and Manny Pacquiao already,” said Singh. However, Mayweather’s camp has denied any talks for a match against the former 8-division champion.

Despite this, Singh seemed confident that a match could very well take place in the future. He revealed that although Pacquiao was also not interested in a rematch, at first talks will push through once the fighters were satisfied with their purses. “I’ve already had the first meeting with Manny Pacquiao, because at first he was not keen either. It’s just egos, nothing else. But at the end of the day, Floyd’s a good guy, he’s a good fighter. Once you’ve satisfied him with his purse, he’s happy to fight whoever. But it’s to his interest as well.” He added.
