Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are set to create history with a rematch at The Las Vegas Sphere in September, marking the first professional boxing event to be held at this venue. The two legendary boxers previously faced off in 2015 in what was dubbed the ‘Fight of the Century,’ with Mayweather emerging as the victor. Despite both fighters retiring, Netflix has announced that Mayweather Pacquiao II will take place on September 19 at The Las Vegas Sphere.

The upcoming rematch between Mayweather and Pacquiao is expected to be highly lucrative, following their record-breaking previous encounter at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Mayweather earned $250 million, while Pacquiao took home $150 million from their initial fight. Mayweather, with a perfect 50-0 record, will defend his legacy in the rematch, which is set to be a professionally sanctioned event.

Pacquiao expressed his excitement for the rematch, emphasizing the anticipation from fans for this monumental event to be streamed globally on Netflix. He aims to secure a victory and leave Mayweather with a lasting memory of defeat. Mayweather, on the other hand, is confident of replicating his previous success against Pacquiao.

Both fighters are expected to engage in warm-up fights before their rematch, with Pacquiao scheduled to face Ruslan Provodnikov and Mayweather likely to take on Mike Tyson. This fight will be a historic event as it will be the first boxing match to headline The Sphere, following UFC 306 in September 2024.
