Floyd Mayweather And Manny Pacquiao Rematch In Las Vegas

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are set to face off in a highly anticipated rematch on September 19, 2026, at the Sphere in Las Vegas, marking the first professional boxing match ever held at this venue. Both fighters will be nearing 50 years old, with Mayweather at 49 and Pacquiao at 47, raising questions about their ability to deliver a high-quality bout. Despite this, the event is expected to attract significant global attention, particularly as it will be streamed live on Netflix, which has over 325 million subscribers worldwide. Mayweather remains confident, stating, "I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result," while Pacquiao aims to change the narrative, declaring, "I want Floyd to live with the one loss on his professional record and always remember who gave it to him." The first encounter in 2015, dubbed the "Fight of the Century," generated a staggering 4.6 million pay-per-view purchases and $72 million in live gate revenue, setting a high bar for the upcoming rematch (ProPakistani, BOL News, Geo Sport). However, analysts express skepticism regarding the fighters' current capabilities, with BBC News labeling the rematch as another boxing "carnival" and questioning if it can deliver the excitement of their previous clash (BBC News).
