Rematch Mayweather-Pacquiao in 2026 on Netflix?

There is a recapture between aging stars, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, is discussed for 2026 on Netflix. There is no word whether the battle of this old timer will count on the official records or an exhibition.

Reciprocation not asked for one

It would be re-matching their battle May 2, 2015, a decade ago, which Mayweather (50-0, 27 kos) won by a unanimous 12-round decision. The scores were 116-112, 116-112, and 118-10. After the battle, Pacquiao revealed that he had fought with a right rotator injury, which had flashed in the third or fourth round.

The event was a huge success, generating $ 400 million in domestic PPV revenue. Mayweather received a division of 60% of revenue, while Pacquiao received 40%. Its intake of the money was estimated between $ 180 million and $ 210 million. Pacquiao is said to have brought in $ 120 million. This major payday led to the slowdown of Mayweather’s career, as it seems to lose ambition and fight twice before retiring from intense competition.

It was called ‘battle of the century’ by many boxing fans during the preparation period, but it became a boring, disappointing fight, with Mayweather shoting pots, moving constantly, still, and unable to take any chance. In terms of boredom, it was similar to the recently promoted Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford.

Money still motivated

Of the two, Mayweather-Pacquiao was a little more entertaining to watch, but not for the PPV price of $ 89.95 for a standard definition and $ 99 for a high definition. For those who remember fighting 2015, the overloaded cable systems broke down in different parts of the United States, leaving viewers with nothing to watch and waste their money.

Mike Coppinger report That Mayweather vs Pacquiao fights are “explored” for Netflix next year. If the battle takes place, it will be 10 years after their battle in underperforming from 2015.

How Tyson’s Comback triggered this idea

Mayweather will turn 49 years old on February 24, 2026. Currently Pacquiao, aged 46, turns 47 on December 17, 2025.

Earlier in 2025, Pacquiao returned from a four-year retirement and fought to a majority drawing match 12 round against WTG weight champion Mario Barrios on July 19. The scores were 114-114, 115-113 to Barrios, and 114-111.
