Pacquiao & Mayweather Set for Explosive Rematch at The Sphere
PACQUIAO – More than ten years after their record-breaking showdown, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are stepping back into the ring for a historic rematch that promises to captivate the world once again.
Boxing fans are once again gearing up for a monumental showdown as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are set to face each other again in a historic professional boxing rematch on September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
More than a decade after their first encounter, the two legends will step back into the ring for a bout that is already generating massive buzz worldwide. The fight will be streamed globally on Netflix, marking another milestone for both boxing and sports broadcasting.
Their initial clash in 2015 became one of the most talked-about fights in history. It shattered records with 4.6 million pay-per-view buys, with Mayweather winning by decision. That bout remains the highest-selling pay-per-view event in boxing history, cementing its place in sports lore.
Now, both fighters are preparing for another chapter in their storied rivalry. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are officially scheduled for a professional rematch on September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with the highly anticipated bout set to be livestreamed on Netflix.
Mayweather, now 49, is once again ending his retirement. Despite reports of financial troubles, he continues to command attention in the boxing world. The American fighter has also confirmed an upcoming exhibition bout with Mike Tyson as he returns to the spotlight.
Pacquiao, 47, had stepped away from boxing for four years to concentrate on politics, including an unsuccessful bid for the Philippine presidency. He made his comeback last year and challenged Mario Barrios for the welterweight championship, a fight that concluded in a draw.
The rematch is widely expected to capture global interest, fueled by the enduring popularity of both athletes, the innovative streaming platform, and the unique setting. The Sphere, recognised for its cutting-edge technology and immersive atmosphere, will provide a dramatic backdrop for what many consider one of the biggest boxing spectacles in recent years.
As anticipation builds, fans and analysts are actively discussing how both fighters, now older and with evolving careers, will adapt their strategies for this highly awaited second meeting.
