Boxing Legends Return to the Ring

Las Vegas will once again play host to a boxing spectacle as Floyd Mayweather Jr. And Manny Pacquiao are officially scheduled to meet in a rematch on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix from the Sphere, marking the first boxing match ever held at the groundbreaking venue.

A Decade After the “Fight of the Century”

The original bout between Mayweather and Pacquiao in May 2015 was the highest-grossing fight in boxing history, breaking pay-per-view and live-gate records. Mayweather won that contest by unanimous decision, claiming the WBA, WBC, and WBO welterweight titles.

What They’re Saying

“Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history,” Pacquiao said in an official release. “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.”
