Despite gearing up for a different bout, Manny Pacquiao is still not letting his rivalry with Floyd Mayweather go. Pacquiao challenged Floyd to give the fans the rematch they want. 

TMZ Sports asked Pacquiao if he's tired of being connected to Mayweather. Pacquiao argued that they keep being mentioned in the same sentence because fans aren't satisfied with the first fight's results. He went on to say that the only way to rectify this would be to schedule a rematch. 

"I think definitely we should have another fight to answer those questions and for the people to stop asking those questions," Manny said before agreeing that being linked to someone like Mayweather is not the worst thing.

For his part, Mayweather was reportedly dead serious about facing Pacquiao once again back in October. A little less than two weeks later, Mayweather said the fight was off because he wanted to build anticipation first.

What's certain is that Pacquiao is scheduled to face Adrien Broner Jan. 19. The 39-year-old is coming off a TKO win over Lucas Matthysse last July.
