Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao: Will we see a rematch?
Froch, Malignaggi, Nelson, Watt, Moore and McCrory all have doubts

Will the Fight of the Century be repeated? The Panel discuss the chances of seeing a Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao rematch.
Carl Froch
We hear there is a clause in the contract that only Mayweather gets a rematch if he loses, but it's whether or not they want one. If Mayweather loses his unbeaten record, he will want to avenge it, but if Manny loses quite badly - if he gets chinned or widely out-pointed - he's not really going to want another one, is he?
If there is a rematch, it's going to be for Mayweather, but I don't think he's going to need it.
Johnny Nelson
If Pacquiao is the loser, he won't get a rematch, but if it's Mayweather, then he will.
Floyd has worked hard for this. It's a risky job and this is the first time he's talking about retirement down the line. I think he's going to give Pacquiao one chance because he has to - it's got to the point where there was that much public pressure.
If he wins, Mayweather will say: 'I've done my job, off you go, move on.' If it was the other way around, Pacquiao would say: 'Yeah, fine.' Because it's a massive fight, he will want to beat him again to prove it's no fluke, and I think Pacquiao has no hang-ups about fighting Mayweather.
Paulie Malignaggi
If it's a great fight, the rematch deal will be reached, There is no bigger fight in boxing, so if there is some sort of controversy, both teams will have no problem doing it again. It is the highest-stakes fight in history and will be again if the whole public want to see it again.
But, even if there is a rematch clause in there already, it's all down to them to decide, is it worth it again? I am not sure. You never know but it needs to be close, controversial or - and I don't think it will happen - Mayweather losing.
Glenn McCrory
The only way there will be a rematch is if we see a controversial decision. If Manny takes a contentious points win, then we will see a rematch. The cynic in me says that could happen - Manny winning in a controversial manner or a draw.
The one thing that Mayweather knows is that he's not going to leave this fight inconclusive. I think we are going to see a different Mayweather and he will be there to make a point.
Jim Watt
This fight is in Vegas and you do get some funny decisions - sometimes they find judges who have different opinions to everyone else who's watching! So if there is a rematch, I hope it's because it's a fantastic fight and not because of controversy. But, at 36 and 38-years-old, I just can't see it.
Jamie Moore
If Mayweather wins, we won't see a rematch, but we definitely will if Pacquiao wins.
Mayweather's got one fight left on his Showtime deal but beating Pacquiao then walking away would be a great end to his career. He will cement his legacy as one of the greatest ever if he wins, so won't need a rematch.
