Pacquiao and Mayweather Set for September Rematch in Vegas

Boxing legends Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have reportedly agreed to a professional rematch set for September 19, 2023, in Las Vegas. This highly anticipated bout comes eight years after their initial fight, which Mayweather won by unanimous decision.

Pacquiao, who is 47, and Mayweather, who will turn 49 on the day of the fight, have captivated fans with their storied rivalry. The rematch will be broadcast live on Netflix, as announced by Mayweather last week.

This fight marks Mayweather's return to the ring after his fourth retirement and follows his last professional fight against MMA star Conor McGregor in 2017. Pacquiao, a twelve-time world champion across eight weight divisions, returned to boxing in July 2023, facing WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, which ended in a draw.

The details regarding the number of rounds and weight class for the rematch have yet to be confirmed. Pacquiao emphasized the significance of this rematch for fans, while Mayweather maintains an undefeated professional record of 50 wins, including 27 by knockout.
