Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will meet again in a professional boxing rematch on September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

The fight will be broadcast worldwide on Netflix.

The announcement comes just days after Mayweather announced his intention to come out of retirement following his 2026 exhibition against Mike Tyson and signed a multi-fight partnership with CSI Sports/Fight Sports.

Pacquiao himself retired last July and fought a majority draw against then-WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. He will also take part in an exhibition where he will face Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

It is not yet known in which weight category the fight will take place and for how many rounds.

The fight will be produced by EverWonder Studio, Hidden Empire and Limitless X Holdings. The event is promoted by Manny Pacquiao Promotions and Mayweather Promotions in association with CSI Sports/Fight Sports.

On May 2, 2015, Mayweather defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision in a highly anticipated fight that was unable to live up to the enormous hype surrounding it. However, it broke several boxing records that still stand, including PPV viewership in the United States, with 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and over $410 million in revenue. The fight also broke box office records, selling $72.2 million in tickets.

“I fought once before and beat Manny,” Mayweather said in a statement. “This time the result will be the same.”

Mayweather, who will turn 49 on February 24, retired from boxing at the age of 40 after his August 2017 knockout of MMA star Conor McGregor, which took his record to a perfect 50-0 with 27 wins after the stoppage. Since then, he has continued to actively compete at shows with the likes of Logan Paul and John Gotti III.

Last September, it was announced that Mayweather and Tyson would meet in an exhibition match in spring 2026. No date or location has been confirmed yet.

Pacquiao, 47, was long past his rematch with Mayweather, which suggests he wasn’t 100 percent ready when they first met due to a shoulder injury. He initially retired from boxing after a loss to Yordenis Ugas in 2021, but returned in 2025 to face Barrios.

With both fighters retired and competing professionally, Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KO) will be the first fighter to spoil Mayweather’s perfect record.

“Floyd and I gave the world the greatest fight in boxing history,” Pacquiao said in a statement. “The fans have waited long enough – they deserve this rematch, and now it will be even greater as it streams live around the world on Netflix. I want Floyd to experience one defeat in 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.”

While the fight won’t have the chance to break PPV records, landing on Netflix will mean it will be available worldwide to more than 325 million subscribers. The 2024 Jake Paul-Tyson fight was Netflix’s first foray into boxing and attracted 108 million live viewers worldwide, making it the most-streamed sporting event in history.

“Early in my career, I spent weeks at Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao training camps in Las Vegas and the Philippines,” Gabe Spitzer, vice president of sports at Netflix, said in a statement. “There was no denying that they were the hardest workers in boxing, and their victories and accolades were a result of that. Bringing this rematch to Netflix is ​​a moment that brings us full circle. We are thrilled to combine their historic rivalry with Sphere’s immersive technology to bring a groundbreaking sporting event to our members around the world.”

The event will also be an opportunity to hold the first boxing match in Kula. The UFC delivered a $2.3 billion event in 2024 with production costs exceeding $20 million.
