JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather boasted that he would get another sweet result when he met Manny Pacquiao in their professional rematch which will take place in Las Vegas, USA, on September 19, 2026.
The fight between the two boxing legends has certainly been awaited by many fans after previously in October 2025 there were reports from Ring Magazine that the two were engaged in negotiations for a rematch.
"I've fought and defeated Manny once. This time the result will be the same," Mayweather said as quoted by Ring Magazine.
Pacquiao and Mayweather first met in 2015 in a fight dubbed 'Fight of the Century'. The duel still remains the highest-grossing boxing fight in history.
The report notes their debut meeting generated a record 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and live gate revenue of $72 million or the equivalent of Rp1.2 trillion at current exchange rates.
Pacquiao, who lost via unanimous decision in their first clash, said he would try to spoil Mayweather's unbeaten record in this rematch.
"I want Floyd to live with one defeat in his professional record and always remember who gave it to him," he said.
This is Mayweather's first professional fight since he defeated mixed martial artist Conor McGregor via knockout (KO) in the 10th round in 2017.
The fighter nicknamed Money won all 50 of his professional fights without losing, 27 of which were by knockout (KO). He has been on a series of exhibition matches since retiring in 2017 and was scheduled to face Mike Tyson in April 2026 before meeting Pacquiao.
On the other hand, Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KO) returned to the ring on July 19, 2025 in Las Vegas, against Mario Barrios to fight for the WBC welterweight title. Their 12-round fight ended in a majority draw.
The 47-year-old Filipino boxer is also scheduled for an exhibition match against Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18, 2026 at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas before meeting Mayweather.
