This is some actual news man!
I thought Pacquiao's latest fight with Ugas was going to be his last fight (since he slightly informed the media about it) but this is great news to hear. Another match to see the legend is a privilege to everyone. The fact that at age 42, he still has the same guts and mental strength to fight once again in the ring is just outstanding and unparalleled.
The only problem is that, Pacquiao did mention on his post-interview that his legs were starting to stiff. Freddy Roach also mentioned that during the years of a boxer, the first thing that ages are their legs, so I am quite doubtful as to how Manny would approach this.

I think the chance to see this is less likely. Pacquiao might have those words as it was what he really feels against Ugas. But to have a rematch is always the hardest part for boxers as there might be another opportunity that might come to both fighters within the period of time as there are talks about the rematch. I think that's usual with Pacquiao for every match, whether he wins or loses, he's up for a rematch as long as he still can. I'm also good if he announces his retirement, he's all good with that.
It seems like Manny Pacquiao is still interested on the rematch.
This news came up and we might see a rematch early next year.

He wants to fight because he thinks he was not able to give his 100% in that fight, his legs were tight so he was not able to move well like he usually do in his previous fight, and we all witness that, so maybe let's give him a chance.
Please post some updates and speculation regarding the fight so this thread will be more informative.

Pacquiao, 42, told The Athletic website that he may consider fighting Ugas again in January following his unanimous decision loss to the 35-year-old in Las Vegas on Saturday.
“Yes, I can come back in January. I will see about it,” Pacquiao told the website. “I know I can rematch him if I want. I’ll just need to tell (promoter) Al Haymon. That would be no problem.” Ugas said in the aftermath of his win on Saturday, where he clinically picked off Pacquiao from long range to score a deserved victory, that he would be willing to offer the eight-division world champion a rematch.

If the the rematch will come Pacquiao give his 100% best against ugas. But we can't predict that manny will win as We observed manny movement speed was changed.
Well, I think and this is just my opinion, Manny just want to make his name becomes popular just because the election campaign was about to start that timeframe. I think he should have made his decision already on the retiring process, he just need to realize that his body isn't the same as his prime.
I believe it's not about the upcoming election, he is very popular already and a loss does not help him. He already made money and according to the news, he made half a billion pesos in that fight, so IMO, it's enough to fund his campaign and if he fights again, that's another bonus plus a claim to avenge his loss.
I agree, it doesn't mean a thing about the election though. I mean he is already popular and I don't see him coming back and by chance winning will also increase his chance of winning the presidential race. One reason I can think of is that he wanted to avenge his loss simply as that because he knows he can perform better if not for the leg cramps he he suffer (excuse???). So let's see if this is true that he wanted to have a rematch and Ugas wanted to give it to him.

I'm one of those who says that Manny should retire, no need for him to call for a rematch and then what?
Of course he has the final decision here, and there will be huge money but at what expense? even his long term trainer is afraid of Pacquiao going for another fight and he is short of saying that his prize pupil should retire but this point. His legs is giving up, a tell tail sign of old age.

after the defeat some time ago, manny pacquaio said if he will focus on his political career in the philippines, but that doesn't mean he doesn't consider the possibility of a rematch between the two of them, I think right now pacquaio just needs is rest and also train to maintain stamina and also his physical condition, so that if a rematch occurs, of course, pacquaio will be able to face the ugas with a total fight and not like yesterday fight, which it seems that pacquaio has some problems with his leg.
maybe he feel that he can still give one more shot in boxing. as mentioned in this article , he called Ugas as "one of the easiest opponents", so he wants to prove maybe that he still got it. at least Ugas is really a humble man, youve never heard him say bad words towards Pacquiao, he does respect him.
Saying that Ugas is one of the easiest opponents, maybe it's really true that he is not feeling 100% in the fight and his legs have some problem that affects his mobility in the fight, and yes, of course, one more shot for him, he deserves that as he is the only 8th division world champion.
People were saying that Manny should retire because of his loss against Ugas, but he still insist to fight and that's good for boxing. As a champion, I have high respect for Ugas because he gives the legend a chance to fight him again, he is humble in a victory that's why he was blessed.
I'm afraid if Manny would win this, there might be a 3rd fight to end this rivalry.

Manny is already 42, you can't blame if people thinks retirement should be in his decision soon because it seems like his body can't handle the training anymore or it's just a coincidence. But the rematch that would happen is gonna be amazing if Manny Pacquiao could really give his 100% fighting skills to defeat Ugas.
If Manny could win the rematch, I doubt that there's gonna be a 3rd match, in my opinion, because if Manny wins, that means they just settled the score. If there's gonna be another match, it'll probably take some time before it's gonna happen again.

after reading the article I feel like Pacquiao should realize that his body is not the same as it was before. I know I can't really tell what his body is still capable of, but knowing that he felt tightness on his muscles from rounds 2 to 12, shows that his body isn't responding like it used to. that being said, I am glad Ugas is open to a rematch in respect of Pacquiao's achievement. I know, I am heavily contradicting myself but I still want to see Pacquiao fight while at the same time thinking that he should retire.

I think this is the most recent update regarding the talks about their rematch. 
He wants to fight because he thinks he was not able to give his 100% in that fight, his legs were tight so he was not able to move well like he usually do in his previous fight, and we all witness that, so maybe let's give him a chance.
C'mon man! As you grow older, your legs will be tight most of the time 
Cannot give 100% is because he is old, and the percentage will drop along with the increased age. Last fight he gave perhaps 85%, surely next fight will be 80%, and keep decreasing.
Anyway, it's not only about the legs, but his speed is just not there anymore. I doubt this match will be realized. The only good thing about Pacman is that he didn't receive enough damage that lead to injury, he should retire while still healthy.
