In that match — which was dubbed “the Fight of the Century” and set Pay-Per-View records — Mayweather Jr. maintained his undefeated record, winning by unanimous decision and was scored 116-12 and 118-110 by the two judges.
Now, 11 years later, the 49 and 47-year-old legends will meet once again.
This time around, the pair are slated to trade blows in the first-ever professional boxing match at the eye-popping Las Vegas Sphere on Saturday, Sept. 19, which will be streamed on Netflix.
“I already fought and beat Manny once,” Mayweather, who previously retired in 2017 without ever suffering a loss, shared in a statement. “This time will be the same result.”
“Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history,” Pacquiao noted 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.”
According to ESPN “it is not yet known what weight class the fight will be contested at or over how many rounds.”
“Mayweather is the early favorite, with FanDuel Sportsbook pegging him at -176 to win the fight over Pacquiao, who is a +138 underdog as of this writing,” The Post added.
In addition to this highly-anticipated battle, Mayweather promised a spring fight against 59-year-old Mike Tyson. Nothing is officially in the books yet, though.
As for Pacquiao, he will take on 42-year-old Ruslan Provodnikov in an exhibition at Las Vegas’ Thomas and Mack Center on Saturday, April 18. “Manny Pacquiao Promotions” will also present an Evening of Championship Fights at Temecula, CA’s Pechanga Resort Casino on Friday, April 3.
