Floyd Mayweather, 49, To Fight Manny Pacquiao, 47, In September

Boxing legends Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are stepping back into the ring one more time together for a huge matchup set for Sept. 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. This event will be available to watch on Netflix.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are most definitely past their prime, but fans are still excited to see the two legends fight each other for the second time. The last time these two met was a decade ago, when Mayweather defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision, dubbed the “Fight of the Century.”

Mayweather, 49, last stepped into a boxing ring for a professional fight in 2017 when he defeated UFC mega-star Conor McGregor.

Pacquiao, 47, fought recently in 2025 for the WBC welterweight championship.

Pacquiao spoke on the fight with Mayweather, 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.”

Mayweather gave a quick and simple statement, saying, “I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result.”
