Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao Rematch News Has Boxing Fans All Saying The Same Thing

Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao faced off on May 2, 2015, in what was arguably the biggest boxing fight of this century between two of the biggest names in the sport's storied history.

Mayweather and Pacquiao had been circling each other for years when this fight was finally made, as they had been competing in similar weight classes for years. However, many believe the fight took so long to get made because Mayweather wanted to wait until Pacquiao was out of his prime so that he would have a better chance of beating him.

Pacquiao was 36 years old when he entered the ring that night (in which the WBA, WBC, WBO, and The Ring welterweight titles were on the line), while Mayweather was 38. And ultimately, Mayweather's plan seemed to pay off, as he defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision in 12 rounds (118–110, 116–112, 116–112) to retain his welterweight belts and extend his undefeated professional record to 48-0.

Despite Mayweather's successful performance, many boxing fans were still frustrated that this iconic fight occurred when both guys were at the tail end of their respective careers.

Imagine what those fans are thinking on October 27, 2025, as Ring Magazine's Inside The Ring show made an X post that read, "‼️ Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are in talks for a potential rematch in 2026, The Ring’s @MikeCoppinger has learned.

"The fight is being explored as another Netflix boxing event."
