Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao II | Netflix - September 26, 2026

[Ruthless-RKO]

Is this gonna be an officially sanctioned fight, one which will count on their pro records ?

If so the glorious possibility of Floyd losing his 0 might entice me to tune in to this.

That’s what I was asking, if Floyd goes 50-1 that’s his brand cabbaged

Will be professional

[CaptainSpacerod]

Wonder if he'll still have the Vegas judges in his pocket

Remember when we used to think the first fight came too late

This killed me.

I hope this fight ends like SRL/Hearns 2: Mayweather in the Leonard role wins but everyone knows it's BS. Then maybe they can fight again in 2040.

Leonard/Hearns 2 was a draw that a lot of people thought was BS. It was especially disappointing to Tommy I'm sure, and it was escaping by the skin of your teeth for Leonard.

[KiwiRider]

Good luck to both of them.
I won't be watching. The first fight came way too late, this one is just taking the piss.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Remember when we used to think the first fight came too late

11 years ago the fight waa 5 years too late.
What a timeline.

I'm actually surprised Mayweather is risking his "0" at almost 50 years old.
Pacquiao fought 5 times after Mayweathers fight, basically all of them title fights. There is a good chance he is actually gonna lose this.

Pacquiao: Mayweather wanted exhibition, I wanted real fight

To kick off the promotional tour, Pacquiao joined ESPN’s SportsCenter to talk about the sequel following their blockbuster bout from 11 years ago, which resulted in Mayweather winning the matchup by unanimous decision.

"It just happened that I'm still active in boxing and then he came out of retirement, so he decided to do it again. This is it. I'm so excited for the fight,” said Pacquiao.

"Before he wanted an exhibition with me, but I disagreed. I didn't want an exhibition. I wanted a real fight like this. So, this is it. This is what I have been waiting for.”

Mayweather, who turned 49 on Tuesday, and Pacquiao, 47, have been making parallel moves over the last week to set up the fight.

Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) confirmed his intent to return from a nine-year retirement as well as an exhibition with Mike Tyson, which is supposed to take place April 25 in the Congo.

Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs), meanwhile, announced an exhibition against Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18 in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao returned from a four-year retirement in July and fought to a majority draw against then-WBC welterweight beltholder Mario Barrios.

The initial encounter between Mayweather and Pacquiao was a highly anticipated matchup labeled as the “Fight of the Century,” but the bout failed to live up to its massive billing despite its blockbuster success generating nearly $600 million in revenue.

Following the fight, Pacquiao claimed he came in with an injured shoulder. The stunning and unreported development led groups of fans to pursue legal action alleging fraud.

"Oh yeah, I learned a lot from that fight way back in 2015,” said Pacquiao. “I think we have become mature and we know how to handle it. I hope that it will not happen again [like the last fight]. I'm hoping this time around there are no more excuses, especially for my condition and everything. I'm so excited and ready to fight.

"Both of us are disciplined fighters. We are taking care of our bodies. I always work out, almost every day ... Right now, I still can fight. I feel like I'm still young, nothing's changed."

I think it's time Kiwi. De La Hoya vs Trinidad 2. Time to settle this thing once and for all

Pacquiao’s Terms For The Mayweather Rematch

Manny Pacquiao’s team has outlined the terms of the Floyd Mayweather rematch, subject to being agreed, ahead of their September 19 rematch.

Jas Mathur, the chief executive of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, stated they have proposed a 10 or 12-round contest. They are insisting on 8-ounce gloves at a 147-pound limit, where the first fight took place. Mathur emphasized that USADA drug testing will likely be included. The most significant shift for this rematch is its departure from PPV to Netflix. The event will be accessible to a global base of over 325 million subscribers at no additional cost.

Mathur confirmed that both Mayweather and Pacquiao are locked in for baseline purses surpassing $50 million apiece. The aim is to break more records, with an eye on the streaming record made by Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson. The first fight produced revenue of over $600 million, meaning the rematch has a lot to live up to. However, Mathur was confident that the fight would deliver.

Will It Deliver?

“This isn’t just a rematch. It’s unfinished business. As a partner to both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, and on behalf of Manny Pacquiao Promotions alongside Limitless X Holdings, I want to thank Netflix for stepping up and giving boxing fans what they’ve demanded for years. I also want to thank Jason Aniel — who worked alongside the rest of our great partners to help bring this across the finish line on behalf of Manny Pacquiao.

“Two legends. Two styles. One final chapter the world has been waiting for. Their first fight generated over $600 million in global revenue and became the highest-grossing pay-per-view in boxing history. This rematch will once again command a worldwide audience, becoming (without a doubt) the most-watched boxing event in Netflix Sports history. Presented at Sphere, this unparalleled immersive experience will be an epic, once-in-a-generation spectacle worthy of their legacies,” Mathur said

“Earlier in my career, I spent weeks in Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao’s training camps in Las Vegas and the Philippines. It was undeniable that they were the two hardest workers in boxing, and their wins and accolades were a product of that. Bringing this rematch to Netflix is a massive ‘full-circle’ moment. We’re thrilled to combine their storied rivalry with the immersive technology of Sphere to deliver a landmark sporting event to our members worldwide,” Gabe Spitzer (Vice President of Sports at Netflix)

YES! Because when he does, the record goes back to Marciano. Come on Pac-Man, you can do it.

Netflix have such a weird approach to sport. Who can predict the next combat sport event announced on netflix after this one?

When the WWE first came to Saudi Arabia, there were reports they had asked for guys to be booked on the show who had been dead for years like Yokozuna. I think about that a lot as their money is being funneled into booking the stars of 20 years ago in boxing and even MMA for megabouts. Along those lines, seems like the obvious next Netflix super fight will probably be something like an all Ukrainian HW championship Wladimir Klitschko/Usyk fight. They have been talking with Wlad, after all.

[gilgamesh]

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua should be ashamed of themselves. Here's 2 guys who nobody was even talking about anymore. Names of the past, nobody was even thinking about them having a rematch or wanting it....and THEY work out a deal before Fury and Joshua even fight once.

Could we see some sort of WWE star against an actual professional combat sports athlete? Maybe two non-martisl arts athletes against each other like basketball player Vs American football. Maybe even 50 Cent Vs P Diddy or something. I can only think of nonsense matchups that would grab the casual's attention whilst making a bit of a mockery of sports.

After Butterbean flattened that one Wrestler in 1999, I don't think any other Wrestlers are going to be signing up for that kinda treatment any time soon.

Not unless the Saudi's offer 'em 200 Million or something...which of course, they might.

All the Wrestlers are p*ssies now though.

You're right. The most marketable female stars of MMA to casuals when they weren't the best female mixed martial artist of their eras. Carana at 43 years old and retired for 17 years, Rousey at 39 with two kids and retired for 8 years. There is absolutely no interest in anything other than name value.
