Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao Set for Boxing Rematch Live on Netflix in September

Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. and Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao are stepping back into the ring to face each other one more time, and they’ll do it live on Netflix.

The two boxing legends are set to meet in a professional bout on Sept. 19, 2026 at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with Netflix streaming the event around the world. This will mark the first time Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) and Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) have faced each other since their historic “Fight of the Century” back in 2015, which Mayweather won via unanimous decision.

Pacquiao has remained active as a professional boxer since then, fighting eight more matches in the intervening 10 years. He most recently fought to a majority draw against Mario Barrios in July 2025. Mayweather, meanwhile, has not fought professionally since he defeated MMA star Conor McGregor by TKO in 2017. He has fought several exhibition matches since then, though, including those against Logan Paul and John Gotti III among others.

Further details about the other fights on the card will be announced at a later date. The rematch was organized and will be produced by EverWonder Studio, Hidden Empire, and Limitless X Holdings. The event itself is being promoted by Manny Pacquiao Promotions and Mayweather Promotions in partnership with CSI Sports/Fight Sports.

“Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history,” Pacquiao said. “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. As always, I dedicate this fight to my fellow Filipinos around the world and to bringing glory to the Philippines.”

Mayweather added, “I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result.”

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao 1 was one of the most anticipated matchups in boxing history. The event drew a record 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and also set a world-record live gate of $72 million at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

This will be the latest high-profile live fight Netflix has streamed. Most famously, the company aired the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event, which drew 108 million live global viewers. They followed that up with Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3, after the two put on a dazzling performance during the Tyson-Paul card, as well as Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford. Netflix also streamed Anthony Joshua’s sixth round knockout of Paul back in December. Up next, Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury will fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11.

Netflix is also beginning to move into MMA, with Ronda Rousey set to fight Gina Carano on May 16, with both women’s MMA legends coming out of retirement.
