Floyd Mayweather retired. Manny Pacquiao supposedly only has one more fight in him. So then, why does trainer Freddie Roach think Mayweather and Pacquiao will duke it out one more time?
Money, of course. And, oh yeah, Roach also doesn't think Pacquiao will call it quits after his next fight either.
Freddie Roach said today he doesn't think Pacquiao's next fight will be his last.

"If Manny fights a good fighter, looks good, has no shoulder injury, I think @FloydMayweather and him will go one more time. Too much money.

"They're not going to let that go, I feel," Roach said.

While Roach's prediction might not turn out to be an accurate one, as Mayweather has repeatedly maintained that he's done, he's not wrong about the money that would be doled out.
For the "Fight of the Century" in May, a bout Mayweather won with ease, the undefeated star reportedly brought in $220 million. And Pacquiao didn't do so bad either, reportedly earning approximately $150 million.
Doesn't sound like a bad deal for just one more fight.
