Manny Pacquiao has called out Floyd Mayweather after retaining his WBA welterweight title with a points victory over Adrian Broner.
The 40-year-old looked comfortable against Broner in their Las Vegas clash and he almost ended the fight in the ninth after rocking the former four-weight world champion with a strong left.
Pacquiao was a class above Broner, despite the 11-year age difference, as he landed more than twice as many punches and eventually won on a unanimous points decision – 117-111, 116-112, 116-112.
The Filipino quickly turned his attention to retired boxer Mayweather in his post-match interview, claiming he would be open to a rematch with the undefeated American.
Pacquiao said: “Tell him to come back to the ring and we will fight. “I am willing to fight with Floyd Mayweather if he is willing to come back to box.”
