Ahead of reports of a rematch, Manny Pacquiao is unconvinced by Floyd Mayweather’s claims that he is the greatest fighter of all time and even questions his celebrated 50-0 record.

In 2015, Pacquiao became the 48th name on Mayweather’s resume, losing by unanimous decision in Las Vegas on a night when the main event didn’t produce the expected results but finances skyrocketed.

It’s for this reason Netflix supported the rematch between the pairscheduled for later this year but under increased scrutiny since Mayweather changed his original statement.

I’m talking to VibrationPacquiao said the fight was contractually agreed upon. He then dismissed Mayweather’s claim as the best ever, saying others had retired undefeated before him and would do it again. In fact, the Filipino icon doesn’t even believe this should be the case with his rival, claiming that he lost to Oscar De La Hoya in 2007.

“I think he lost the Oscar De La Hoya fight. Look it up. I know what boxing is, and if you go through it and watch the fight, Floyd lost it. Very clear, so watch it.”

Mayweather faced Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas. It was the biggest fight in sports at the time.

The fight was tight early on, with De La Hoya using his jab and size, but Mayweather adjusted as the match went on, providing cleaner and more precise work down the stretch. He took a split decision to win the title and thus replaced the “Golden Boy” as boxing’s leading commercial fortune.

De La Hoya has long criticized Mayweather for not accepting a rematch clause in his contract, accusing him of retiring at the right time and coming back to avoid it.

If that were the case, the American icon could face similar accusations in 2026, as it increasingly looks like Pacquiao’s rematch – despite his comments – is in jeopardy.

Alvarez, 35, had elbow surgery last year and will miss the weekend in which he has always been the main character. He has wrestled on Cinco de Mayo weekend every year since 2015, except for 2018 and 2020.

Saturday’s event will be hosted by David Benavidez, who will move up to cruiserweight to face unified champion Gilberto Ramirez. Benavidez previously had mandatory super middleweight status during Alvarez’s undisputed title fight.

Alvarez last fought in September during Mexican Independence Weekend, losing a unanimous decision to Terence Crawford. It is expected to return in mid-September on the same holiday weekend.

His presence on Saturday drew attention because the co-main event will be a fight for the WBA 168-pound title. Munguia vs. Winner Resendiz will hold the belt in Alvarez’s division, which will make the outcome crucial to his next opponent’s options. No direct link has been confirmed, but a different name has been added to the current title image as a result.

If Resendiz wins, he becomes a huge high reward and manageable risk target should Saul return home. Resendiz is tough and has that unrelenting “Toro” style, but he’s technically the type of aggressive fighter that Saul has long timed and countered with ease.

The event will be broadcast on Prime Video and DAZN. Former promoter Oscar De La Hoya is also expected to be in attendance to support his fighters, including Ramirez and Oscar Duarte. In recent years, De La Hoya has publicly criticized Alvarez.

A major obstacle has been revealed that could derail plans for a potential fight between David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol.

After reigning supreme at super middleweight and lightweight heavyweight, reigning WBC 175-pound world champion Benavidez begins his toughest test yet with a monumental 25-pound jump to the cruiserweight division. on Saturday evening, a clash with unified champion Gilberto Ramirez.

However, even if he is successful against Ramirez, the “Mexican Monster” has vowed to return to lightweight heavyweight in pursuit of a chance to claim the undisputed crown against WBA, WBO and IBF titleholder Bivol.

Although there is a lot of interest in this fight, Eddie Hearn said Fighting the noise that Bivol has a “loose obligation” to take part in the trilogy with Artur Beterbiev.

“I think Benavidez-Bivol is a great fight, but we have some loose commitments with the Beterbiev III fight, which if called upon, we have to take.

“But if that’s not the case, Benavidez is absolutely the right fight. I think it’s a great fight, it’s two guys pound for pound.

“I really think Benavidez will beat Ramirez, and if that happens, if Dmitry comes through on May 30, which is what we expect him to do, why not fight Benavidez?”

Bivol will defend two of his three titles against German Michael Eifert next month, while Beterbiev considers his own “fine-tuning” in preparation for a third meeting with his rival.
