When is the Mayweather–Pacquiao rematch?

Rematch locked for Sept. 19 in Las Vegas

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will meet in a professional rematch on Sept. 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, the promoters and participants announced. The fight will stream globally on Netflix, marking a high-profile, commercial return for two of the sport’s most recognizable names.

Why the bout is notable

The pairing is one of boxing’s most lucrative, attention-grabbing matchups, reuniting two fighters whose first encounter was one of the biggest pay-per-view events of the 2010s. Staging the sequel at the Sphere — a venue built for immersive, large-scale events — and distributing it via Netflix signals an emphasis on global reach and streaming revenue rather than traditional pay-per-view models.

What fans should know

• Date and venue: Sept. 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
• Distribution: The event will be streamed worldwide on Netflix.
• Stakes and unknowns: Details such as the full undercard, official weight class stipulations and purse splits have not been finalized publicly.

What it means for boxing

Beyond the nostalgia factor, the rematch is a business event: it tests streaming platforms’ appetite for marquee live sports, could reshape how elite boxing events are packaged, and gives both fighters — and the sport — a major global spotlight late in the year. At the same time, specifics around the fight card and financials remain to be announced, leaving some questions that will be answered as the promotion solidifies the undercard and broadcast plan.
