Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquio are set to face off in a PROFESSIONAL boxing rematch later this year … more than a decade after their first blockbuster fight.
The news was made official via Netflix minutes ago — 48-year-old “Money” and 47-year-old “Pac-Man” will meet in the ring again at the Sphere in Las Vegas on September 19.
It’s a booking that has been rumored for years — but the streaming giant was able to make it happen once and for all.
Mayweather — who will be risking his perfect 50-0 record — retired from professional fighting back in 2017 … but has taken a handful of exhibitions, including one against Logan Paul, after hanging up the gloves.
Pacquiao also took some time away for about four years … but made a comeback in 2021. He is currently 62-8-3 on his career.
The first time around was called “The Fight of the Century” … and shattered Pay-Per-View numbers with 4.6 MILLION buys.
Now, folks with a Netflix subscription will be able to watch for free!!
Pacquiao spoke about the fight … saying, “Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history. The fans have waited long enough — they deserve this rematch, and it will be even bigger now that it will be streamed live globally on Netflix. I want Floyd to live with the one loss on his professional record and always remember who gave it to him. As always, I dedicate this fight to my fellow Filipinos around the world and to bringing glory to the Philippines.”
Floyd also talked about the upcoming bout … saying it will be the same result as his unanimous decision victory more than a decade ago.
