LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Unbeaten American boxer Floyd Mayweather on Tuesday said he is willing to fight Manny Pacquiao again after the Filipino’s shoulder surgery.

Mayweather, in a text message to ESPN’s Stephen Smith, said he is willing to have a rematch with Pacquiao. “I will fight him in a year after his surgery,” Mayweather said.

Pacquiao, after consulting with a doctor in Los Angeles and having an MRI scan done, has decided to go under the knife to repair a torn rotator cuff that he injured during training camp. The surgery will take place sometime this week and will keep him off the ring for at least a year.

Pacquiao suffered the shoulder injury in training camp with three weeks to go before the fight, but still opted to push through and face Mayweather.

Pacquiao said he was able to rest his shoulder in the final weeks of camp, even sending away his sparring partners, and was under the impression that he will be allowed to take an anti-inflammatory shot on fight night in order to numb the pain.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) barred him from taking the injection, however, and the injury was aggravated in the third round, Pacquiao said after the bout.

When informed about Mayweather’s proposal for a re-match, Pacquaio said, “Sure, I would be happy to fight him again, but this time it will be on my own terms.”  Pacquiao said that he will agree to a re-match only if the fight will be held at the Philippine Arena in the Philippines and that the revenue split would be 70%  to 30% in favor of the Filipino boxer.

The Pacquiao camp already has a promotional mantra for the re-match.  It will be billed “Gotcha in Manila!”
