The long-awaited moment for boxing fans has finally arrived.
Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is set to settle the score and deliver the first official loss of Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s career.
The two legends will collide in a professional rematch on September 19 at the state-of-the-art Sphere in Las Vegas, streamed globally to millions on Netflix.
For Pacquiao, this fight represents more than just a boxing match. It is an opportunity to provide a “full-circle” moment for the sport and a final, historic victory for the Filipino people.
Pacquiao has dedicated this bout to his fellow Filipinos, stating that his primary motivation is to bring “glory to the Philippines” on the world’s most innovative stage.
While their 2015 “Fight of the Century” shattered every financial record in history, many felt the outcome was skewed by a shoulder injury Pacquiao suffered during training. Now, at 47 and coming off a dominant professional return against Mario Barrios, Pacquiao is healthy, motivated, and ready to prove he is the superior warrior.
After a decade of chasing the rematch, the Filipino icon finally has the opportunity to erase the “0” from Mayweather’s 50-0 record.
By partnering with Netflix, Pacquiao is ensuring his quest for glory is seen by over 325 million subscribers worldwidea reach far beyond traditional PPV.
While Mayweather, 49, continues to coast through exhibitions and talk about his past wins, Pacquiao remains the “People’s Champion,” fueled by the desire to give the fans the definitive ending they deserved years ago.
Both legends are ending their retirements to settle this rivalry professionally. Pacquiao, 47, proved he still has the “Pacman” fire after a thrilling battle with WBC champion Mario Barrios in 2025. Meanwhile, Mayweather, 49, is returning to the pro ranks following a high-profile spring exhibition against Mike Tyson.
”I dedicate this fight to my fellow Filipinos around the world… I want Floyd to always remember who gave him that one loss.” Manny Pacquiao
