    Manny Pacquiao doesn’t plan on retiring just yet, as he wants a rematch against WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn, says Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. The rematch between them could take place in November in Australia. It would be in front of Horn’s fans, again.

    Pacquiao lost to the unbeaten Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) on July 2 in Brisbane, Australia, and he did not shine in that fight. Pacquiao, 38, fought like an aging fighter, who couldn’t throw enough punches to get the job done against a fighter that was there for the taking. Horn, 29, would have likely been a sitting duck against any of the top welterweights in the division in that fight. Horn had the perfect guy for him to beat in the smallish and older Pacquiao, and he had a referee that took hands off approach when it came to control his fouls.
