Errol Spence says he wants Manny Pacquiao next, but Pacman seems only interested in Floyd Mayweather
- Boxing politics continue to go around and around with fighters chasing particular routes to riches
- The stacked welterweight division is compulsive viewing at the moment

However, Spence suggested he has other ideas after staking his claim for the upper reaches of the best pound-for-pound rankings by coming through a definite fight of the year contender with Porter.
With the Porter fight raising his profile higher than it’s been since his surprise win over Kell Brook in May 2017, and as the only unified champion in the division, Spence has his eye on undisputed honours and aims to hoover up the rest of the division’s hardware.
Those factors seem most likely to lead him to the ageing Pacquiao, after his superb win over Keith Thurman earlier this year propelled him back among the welterweight nobility, and then on to unbeaten fellow American Terence Crawford, arguably the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world, for what would undoubtedly be a box office barn burner, when the two can overcome their network and promotional differences that is.
