The Market is Talking About the Upcoming Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Rematch
In a highly anticipated sequel, two of the greatest boxers of the 21st century, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, are set to face off once again. The bout is scheduled for September 19, 2025, at ‘The Sphere’ in Las Vegas, marking over a decade since their first encounter in 2015.
This rematch is generating significant buzz in the boxing community, especially as it will be globally broadcast on Netflix, highlighting the streaming service’s increasing investment in live sports.
Floyd Mayweather, now 49 years old, has been out of professional boxing since August 2017 but recently indicated his intention to return. He is scheduled to fight Mike Tyson in an exhibition match this spring, although details regarding the date and location of that event remain unconfirmed.
Meanwhile, Manny Pacquiao, 47, is also making a comeback after a brief political career in the Philippines, where he lost his senate seat and ran unsuccessfully for President in 2022. Pacquiao’s return to the ring includes a warm-up fight against Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18, 2025, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The market is abuzz with speculation about the implications of this rematch. Fans and analysts are keenly interested in how both fighters will perform after their respective breaks from the sport. Mayweather holds a perfect 50-0 record, having won their first bout by unanimous decision, and questions remain regarding whether Pacquiao can turn the tide in this upcoming clash.
No official confirmation yet regarding the fight details beyond what has been announced, but the excitement is palpable as both fighters prepare for their respective spring exhibitions ahead of the main event.
