Pacquiao at Mayweather, muling magsasagupa sa Las Vegas sa Setyembre 2026
Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are set for a professional boxing rematch in September 2026 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, as announced by Netflix. This highly anticipated event will reignite one of boxing's biggest rivalries.
Netflix announced on February 23, 2026, that Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will have a professional boxing rematch on September 19, 2026, at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The event will be streamed exclusively on Netflix at no extra cost to subscribers, marking the first professional boxing match at the $2.3 billion Sphere venue. The rematch comes more than a decade after their historic 2015 "Fight of the Century" where Mayweather won by unanimous decision, generating 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and a $72 million live gate.
Floyd Mayweather Jr., who retired with an undefeated 50-0 record after his 2017 win over Conor McGregor, is returning from retirement for this professional bout. Manny Pacquiao, now 47 years old, recently fought to a majority draw with WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios in July 2025 and has an exhibition match scheduled against Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18, 2026, at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Pacquiao hinted about the rematch during the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League on February 23, 2026.
According to the Philippine News Agency (PNA), the fight will take place on September 20, 2026, in Philippine time. Pacquiao stated that the rematch honors Filipinos worldwide and aims to give Mayweather his first professional loss, citing a shoulder injury that affected his performance in their 2015 encounter. Mayweather responded with confidence, stating "This time will be the same result."
The event will be produced by EverWonder Studio, Hidden Empire, and Limitless X Holdings. Netflix Vice President Gabe Spitzer highlighted the fighters' work ethic and the Sphere's immersive technology as key elements for this global event. Specific details including weight class, number of rounds, undercard fights, and ticket information remain pending and will be announced in the coming months. This rematch represents one of the most anticipated events in boxing history, reigniting one of the sport's greatest rivalries.
