Mayweather-Pacquiao Rematch Is on for Sept. 25, but some Details Not Firm
Mayweather said the rematch is nearing a deal as promoters weigh a sanctioned fight or exhibition and a Las Vegas venue shift.
- On Friday, Manny Pacquiao Promotions CEO Jas Mathur announced that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao agreed to a professional boxing match at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sept. 25, 2026.
- Initially slated for The Sphere, the venue shifted after The Eagles booked the $2.3 billion arena for Sept. 19, while Mayweather previously told Vegas Sports Today the bout was "not actually a fight."
- Mayweather said on Thursday that the rematch remained under negotiation, though Mathur noted the 50-0 fighter signed multiple contracts and received advances against his fight purse.
- Netflix will stream the bout live, marking the first professional matchup between the two boxers in more than 11 years following their 2015 encounter.
- Although Mayweather is 49 and Pacquiao is 47, both remain major draws for Netflix, as the veteran boxers transition from exhibition bouts to this sanctioned professional contest.
