Keith Thurman was asked what’s next?
"I most likely definitely take it," Thurman said of Pacquiao. "I'm going to have to talk to my team and my managers, but I feel good. That was a beautiful fight. I would love to have; maybe in Brooklyn, maybe in Vegas, wherever Manny wants. I'd fight him in the Philippines if that's where he wanted it, baby."
