Boxing history is getting a sequel. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will meet again in a professional rematch on September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with the event streamed globally on Netflix.
Their first clash in 2015 shattered pay per view and gate records, with Mayweather earning a unanimous decision in what became one of the most lucrative fights in boxing history. Now, more than a decade later, both icons return from retirement with unfinished business and bold promises.
Mayweather, who retired at 50-0 after stopping Conor McGregor in 2017, has stayed active in exhibitions and recently signaled a return to professional competition. Pacquiao, an eight division world champion, resumed fighting in 2025 and battled Mario Barrios to a majority draw. He is also scheduled for an exhibition against Ruslan Provodnikov ahead of the rematch.
Details on weight class and rounds have yet to be confirmed, but the stakes are clear. Pacquiao has long insisted he was not at full strength in their first meeting and has openly chased this opportunity. Mayweather remains confident the result will be the same.
With Netflix distributing the fight to more than 325 million subscribers worldwide and the Sphere hosting its first boxing event, this rematch blends nostalgia, spectacle and modern streaming reach into one global stage.
