A Floyd Mayweather<\/a>–Manny Pacquiao<\/a> rematch – more than 10 years after the first meeting – is being explored to take place next year in another Netflix boxing event, sources tell The Ring<\/a>. <\/p>\n

When they fought in 2015, Mayweather outpointed Pacquiao in a fight five-plus years in the making. The event shattered revenue records, generating 4.6 million PPV buys, the most all time, along with a record gate of $72.2 million in Las Vegas. Overall, the event approached $600 million in revenue. <\/p>\n

Now that Pacquiao has returned to boxing – and looked good in a draw with Mario Barrios<\/a> in a July welterweight title fight – there\u2019s renewed interest in the Filipino fighting Mayweather.
Pacquiao, 46, did enough to earn the nod, in the eyes of many, over Barrios. The former eight-division champion announced earlier this month that he would return in late January in Las Vegas<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear at this time when Mayweather-Pacquiao would take place if finalized, and if Pacquiao would still fight in a different bout at the start of the year. <\/p>\n

Mayweather, 48, hasn\u2019t boxed since 2017 when he ran his record to 50-0 with a 10th-round TKO victory over UFC star Conor McGregor. <\/p>\n

However, Mayweather has remained around boxing with a slew of exhibition events, including a 2021 meeting with Logan Paul. <\/p>\n

After Mayweather comfortably outpointed Pacquiao in 2015, it was revealed Pacquiao competed with a torn rotator cuff. <\/p>\n

Now, we could see the pair share the ring together again. And it\u2019s the type of major event Netflix has shown interest in since entering the boxing space last year. <\/p>\n

So far, the streaming giant, which has over 300 million subscribers, has delivered three boxing events: Mike Tyson-Jake Paul in November 2024, Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano 3<\/a> in July and September’s Terence Crawford-Canelo Alvarez fight<\/a> for The Ring and undisputed super middleweight championship.
The fourth comes November 14 in Miami with an exhibition between Jake Paul and boxing star Gervonta Davis<\/a>.
