Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Pacquiao and Mayweather Confirm Rematch for September
Caption: Pacquiao and Mayweather Confirm Rematch for September. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have confirmed a professional rematch in Las Vegas, scheduled for 19 September at Sphere. The fight will be broadcast live on Netflix, marking the return of Mayweather, who last fought in 2017 against Conor McGregor. Pacquiao, who retired in 2021 to focus on politics, returned to the ring in 2023 for a fight against Mario Barrios, ending in a draw. Mayweather, 48, has come out of retirement for a fourth time, aiming for victory over Pacquiao, who is 47. Their 2015 encounter, dubbed the ‘Fight of the Century,’ saw Mayweather win by unanimous decision in the richest boxing match in history. Details such as the number of rounds and weight class for the rematch are still pending. Pacquiao, a 12-time world champion across eight weight classes, aims to hand Mayweather his first professional loss. Mayweather, undefeated with 50 wins, remains confident, saying the rematch will have the same outcome as their first fight. This will be Mayweather’s first professional fight since 2017, but he has had several exhibition bouts since then, including a scheduled fight against Mike Tyson. Full event details, including the undercard and ticket sales, will be announced closer to the date. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
