Mayweather vs Pacquiao: Boxing’s Epic Rematch Set for Las Vegas
Floyd Mayweather is coming out of retirement once again and this time, he’s stepping back into the ring against Manny Pacquiao. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the boxing world. The two legends, whose first fight in 2015 was billed as the “Fight of the Century,” are set to clash on September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with the bout streaming live on Netflix.
Mayweather, 48, hasn’t fought professionally since his 2017 victory over Conor McGregor, though he has stayed active in exhibition matches. Pacquiao, now 47, retired in 2021 to focus on politics, but returned briefly last year for a draw against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. The stage is now set for a rematch that fans have speculated about for years.
