Dana White has a unique insight into the Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao rematch announced for September this year.<\/p>\n
The two boxing icons face off 11 years on from their first encounter, which Mayweather won via unanimous decision, both now within touching distance of 50.<\/p>\n
Though many fans doubt the level of the action warrants much excitement<\/a>, the event headlining the first boxing card at The Sphere in Las Vegas, paired with nostalgia, may prove reason enough to tune in.<\/p>\n Speaking at the post-fight press conference for Zuffa Boxing 04, which saw Jai Opetaia beat Brandon Glanton for the promotion\u2019s inaugural cruiserweight title, White was asked if he had any advice for an event at The Sphere.<\/p>\n \u201cWho\u2019s promoting? S**t. Wonder who\u2019s paying for production. They\u2019re in for a big surprise. It is incredibly expensive. Interesting. They better call somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n Mayweather-Pacquiao 2 will be helmed by Manny Pacquiao Promotions and has significant backing from Netflix.<\/p>\n White staged UFC 306, headlined by Merab Dvalishvili\u2019s victory over Sean O\u2019Malley for the bantamweight world title, in September 2024 at the futuristic venue. The event, branded \u2018Noche UFC\u2019 to coincide with Mexican Independence Day weekend, was the first live sporting show held there and produced a record gate for the promotion.<\/p>\n
