LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao committed Saturday night to continuing his boxing career as his 47th birthday nears.

The Filipino superstar felt fresh, fast and strong enough during his 12-round majority draw with WBC welterweight champ Mario Barrios to know he can fight another top opponent either late this year or sometime early in 2026.

Pacquiao has no idea, however, whether the 48-year-old rival who beat him 10 years ago at the same venue where he battled Barrios will come out of retirement, too.

Unless Floyd Mayweather commits to boxing again, Pacquiao will be reluctant to seriously discuss a rematch that remains marketable even though it should have happened a decade ago. Pacquiao, who will turn 47 on Dec. 17, addressed a second fight with Mayweather only because he was asked about it during his post-fight press conference late Saturday night at MGM Grand.

"It's hard to talk about a fighter who retired already," Pacquiao said. "If he comes out [of retirement], then go sign the contract and we'll fight. Let's fight again, if he want. I have no problem with that, I'm active now and don't pick my opponent. I fight them all in my weight division."

Mayweather was 38 when he defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision in a long-awaited 12-round welterweight title fight in May 2015 at MGM. Pacquiao was 36 when they finally fought in a heavily hyped showdown that generated more than $600 million in overall revenue and approximately 4.6 million pay-per-view buys, both records that seem impossible to beat.

The rivals have teased fighting again at various times for the past 10 years, but Mayweather seems firmly entrenched in retirement.

The five-division champion from Grand Rapids, Michigan, has competed exclusively in exhibitions since his 10th-round stoppage of UFC superstar Conor McGregor in their August 2017 bout in Las Vegas.

Mayweather first announced his retirement following his unanimous-decision victory over Andre Berto in September 2015, four months after defeating Pacquiao.

Mayweather retired undefeated (50-0, 27 KOs). He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2021.

Pacquiao came back from a retirement that lasted almost four years to challenge Barrios (29-2-2, 18 KOs). Before he and Barrios boxed to a majority draw, Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) hadn't participated in an official fight since August 2021, when Cuba's Yordenis Ugas upset him by unanimous decision.

Pacquiao, inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last month, is focused for now on either a rematch with Barrios or facing another formidable welterweight next.
