Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are coming back to the ring. Their rematch at The Sphere Arena in Las Vegas is set for September 19, with Netflix streaming the fight live.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are heading back to Las Vegas. The two boxing icons are set for a rematch at The Sphere Arena on September 19. Netflix will stream the fight live. This marks the first time both fighters return to the city since their blockbuster bout in 2015.

Mayweather is now 49. Pacquiao is 47. Their last meeting was in May 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Mayweather won that fight by unanimous decision. This time, the action moves to The Sphere Arena. The venue has quickly become a major spot for big events on the Strip.

According to independent sports publications as of late September 2026, the Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch was still described as a proposed professional bout, but with legal and promotional issues on Mayweather's side causing the event to be postponed.

This is a big change for boxing fans. The venue’s size and advanced sound and visuals should make the event stand out for everyone—both in the seats and watching at home.

Mayweather and Pacquiao’s recent records

Mayweather comes in with a perfect record: 50 wins, 0 losses, and 27 knockouts. His last official fight was in August 2017. He beat Conor McGregor by technical knockout. Pacquiao returned to the ring in July after almost four years away. He fought WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios to a draw. Pacquiao’s record: 62 wins (39 by knockout), 3 draws, and 8 losses.
