Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao Reportedly in Talks for 2026 Rematch

 

Boxing legends Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. and Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao are reportedly in discussions for a potential rematch set for 2026.

According to Inside The Ring, negotiations are underway for the blockbuster bout, which could be featured as part of Netflix’s growing lineup of high-profile boxing events.

Mayweather and Pacquiao last met in May 2015 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in the highly anticipated “Fight of the Century,” where Mayweather won by unanimous decision to unify the welterweight titles.

Since retiring, Mayweather has only participated in exhibition bouts, most recently against John Gotti III in August 2024. His last professional fight was in 2017 against Conor McGregor.

Pacquiao, who retired in 2021, made a comeback in July 2025, earning a majority decision win over Mario Barrios.

Mayweather had also announced plans to face heavyweight icon Mike Tyson in an exhibition match next year, though the current status of that fight remains unclear.
