After almost 4,000 days since their last fight, American Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Filipino Manny Pacquiao, two legends of world boxing, They will face each other again in the ring when the historic rematch is confirmed for September 19, which will be broadcast on Netflix. Eleven years ago, the American boxer emerged victorious, leaving a trail of frustration in the Asian legend; now he will have the opportunity to avenge that fight in a battle organized by EverWonder Studio, Hidden Empire, and Limitless X Hidden, in an event also being promoted by Manny Pacquiao Promotions and Mayweather Promotions in collaboration with CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS. After these eleven years, both stars return to professional boxing with many scores to settle. Although time waits for no one—Pacquiao is 47 years old with a record of 62-8-3 and 39 knockouts—his skills remain intact, as he demonstrated last year when he faced welterweight Mario Barros, showing his competitiveness with a draw. Before the historic rematch next fall, Manny Pacquiao will participate in an exhibition fight against Russian Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18 in Las Vegas. Mayweather, who is also battling the relentless passage of time, will turn 49 this Tuesday, having alternated retirements and comebacks throughout his career over the last eleven years. He first officially retired in 2015 after defeating Andre Berto. He then returned in 2017 to defeat Conor McGregor by technical knockout in a fight that again generated millions of dollars, and since then, he has held exhibition fights that have brought him significant earnings before confirming his return to professional boxing with an unofficial fight in the coming months before facing Manny Pacquiao. The announcement has reignited the debate about the sporting significance of the rematch. It's not just about two legends in the final stretch of their careers. It's an opportunity to reinterpret a rivalry that defined an era and whose first chapter many considered belated. In the official statement, Manny Pacquiao made his motivation clear: "Floyd and I gave the world what remains the greatest fight in boxing history. 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 only loss on his professional record and to always remember who gave it to him.” Mayweather, true to form, responded confidently: “I already fought and beat Manny once. This time it will be the same result.” A Historic Rematch This battle, to be held on September 19, is a reminder that Mayweather and Pacquiao faced off in 2015 in the so-called 'Fight of the Century,' which generated record revenue, although the sporting spectacle itself was more... Quite disappointing.
