Boxing commentator Sergio Mora commented that he doesn't like the idea of ??Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. should star in a rematch and assured that it will be just as bad as the first.

In statements to DAZN Boxing, Mora indicated that he doesn't understand why Netflix is ??interested in making a second fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr., since they left a bad taste in people's mouths 10 years ago.

“I don't like it. We have two all-time greats, and 10 years ago they left a bad taste in people's mouths. It was a success. To this day, it remains the highest-grossing pay-per-view sale. $4.4 million, one of the biggest grosses in boxing history. Floyd Mayweather became a multimillionaire after that. So yes, it was a success for both of them, but the fight was a fiasco. It was a fight to forget,” he said.

“We don't mention it when we talk about the best fights of all time. We talk about Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., but never We never mention that fight, absolutely none, because it was truly bad. So why does Netflix think, why does any promoter think that 10 years later, this fight is going to be better? It's going to be just as bad or even worse because they're old,” he added. In the first bout dubbed the “Fight of the Century,” Floyd Mayweather Jr. won by unanimous decision thanks to his flawless execution of his game plan, which thwarted Manny Pacquiao's relentless attack. The Filipino, for his part, tried to press the attack, managing to land flurries of punches only in a few middle rounds, but the American's defense neutralized most of his offense. At the end of the 12 rounds, Mayweather Jr. secured the victory and maintained his undefeated record. Furthermore, 'Money' unified the welterweight titles of the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), and World Boxing Organization (WBO). in an event that broke boxing revenue records. Pacquiao returned to action in 2025, after four years of inactivity.and displayed flashes of his characteristic speed and power against Mario Barrios in a highly competitive and hard-fought duel. After 12 rounds, the fight ended in a majority draw. The Filipino – who will return in January – wanted to face Rolando 'Rolly' Romero, but the champion was ordered into a mandatory fight.

The 46-year-old Filipino, Manny Pacquiao, was unable to reclaim his world title against Mario Barrios. The boxing legend boasts a professional record of 62 wins (39 by knockout), 8 losses, and 3 draws.

Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a champion in five different weight divisions and retired in 2017. The American left an undefeated record in the sport with 50 wins (27 by knockout).
