Floyd Mayweather Jr. reportedly could reignite a rivalry with a fellow boxing legend in a marquee matchup next year.<\/p>\n

According to The Ring’s Mike Coppinger<\/a>, Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are “in talks for a potential rematch in 2026.” The fight reportedly “is being explored as another Netflix boxing event.”<\/p>\n

“I am hearing from reliable sources that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, yes more than ten years later, a rematch is being seriously discussed to take place next year on Netflix,” Coppinger said on\u00a0Inside The Ring\u00a0(h\/t\u00a0Kyle Dimond<\/a>\u00a0of Bloody Elbow). “I think there’s a real possibility this is going to happen.”<\/p>\n

Mayweather and Pacquiao met for the first time in 2015 in a fight that headlined the highest-grossing pay-per-view in boxing history at the time. Mayweather won the fight by unanimous decision, but many believed the fight went down much later in their careers than it should have.<\/p>\n

It was\u00a0announced last month<\/a>\u00a0that Mayweather and heavyweight legend Mike Tyson agreed to an exhibition fight in the spring of 2026, so a rematch against Pacquiao would be another big-money fight for the 48-year-old. Mayweather most recently was in the ring in August 2024 in an eight-round exhibition against John Gotti III.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao returned to the ring this past August after a nearly four-year layoff and fought WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios to a majority draw. Many were impressed by how good the 46-year-old looked after so much time away.<\/p>\n

Fans would surely be excited to see Pacquiao get the chance to avenge his loss to Mayweather, so many will be anxiously awaiting an official announcement for the fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Floyd Mayweather Jr. reportedly could reignite a rivalry with a fellow boxing legend in a marquee matchup next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-228779","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
