Mayweather Jr. – Pacquaio II set for September 19

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs) and Manny Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) will meet for the second time in a professional boxing fight. They will face each-other in rematch on September 19 in Las Vegas.

The event will be streamed on Netflix.

The announcement of the fight came just days after Mayweather announced his intentions to come of out of retirement following his exhibition against Mike Tyson and he signed a multifight partnership with CSI Sports/FIGHT Sports.

Mayweather (49) hasn’t fought an official fight since the victory against Conor McGregor in July 2017.

Pacquiao (47) returned last year after three-year pause, and had a draw against Mario Barrios in the fight for WBC World welterweight title.

It’s not yet announced which weight class the fight will be contested.

On May 2, 2015, Mayweather beat Pacquiao by unanimous decision in a highly anticipated showdown that didn’t manage to live up to the immense amount of hype surrounding it. It did, however, shatter several boxing records that still stand today, including PPV viewership in the United States, with 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and over $410 million in revenue. The fight also broke gate records with $72.2 million in ticket sales.

“I already fought and beat Manny once,” Mayweather said in a statement. “This time will be the same result.”

With both fighters out of retirement and competing professionally, Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) will look to be the first fighter to put a blemish on Mayweather’s perfect record.

“Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history,” Pacquiao said in a statement. “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.”
