BOXING legends Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are set to fight again!
Streaming platform Netflix announced on Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, that the two former world champions will have a rematch on Sept. 20 (Philippine time) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight will be shown live online.
First fight since 2015
Pacquiao and Mayweather first fought on May 2, 2015, in a match called the “Fight of the Century” at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Mayweather won that fight by unanimous decision.
This time, the match will take place at The Sphere, a high-tech indoor arena. It will be the first time the venue hosts a professional boxing match.
The rematch will be an official pro fight. That means their records are at stake. Mayweather is still undefeated with a 50-0 record, while Pacquiao has a record of 62 wins, 8 losses and 3 draws.
What the fighters said
Pacquiao, now 47 years old, said fans deserve to see the rematch.
“The fans have waited long enough — they deserve this rematch,” Pacquiao said. “I want Floyd to live with one loss on his professional record and always remember who gave it to him.”
Mayweather, 49, is also confident.
“I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result,” Mayweather said.
Exhibition fights first
Before their big showdown, both fighters will compete in exhibition matches.
Pacquiao will face Ruslan Provodnikov in a 10-round exhibition at the Thomas & Mack Center on April 18.
Mayweather is also expected to have an exhibition match against Mike Tyson, but full details have not yet been announced. / PNA
