Netflix continues its commitment to live sporting events and could surprise the world of boxing with one of the most anticipated fights in recent years. As reported by The Ring through journalist Mike Coppinger, the platform is considering organizing a rematch in 2026 between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiaoa decade after their historic 2015 confrontation.
It is not yet clear whether it will be a professional or exhibition fight, but expectation is already beginning to grow among fans. The first fight between the two, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, generated 4.6 million PPV purchases and a box office record of $72.2 million, establishing itself as one of the most lucrative events in boxing history.
Pacquiao, 46, returned to the ring in July 2025 with a draw against Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title and announced that he will fight again on January 24 in Las Vegas, although he still has no confirmed rival.
For his part, Mayweather, 48, officially retired in 2017 after beating Conor McGregor, closing his professional career with a perfect record of 50-0. Since then he has participated in multiple exhibitions, including his most recent fight against John Gotti III in August 2024, and is scheduled to fight Mike Tyson in the spring of 2025.
Netflix, which has already organized events such as Jake Paul vs. Tyson, Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3 and Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford seeks to establish himself as a new benchmark in global boxing. In addition, on November 14, the exhibition between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis will air.
If confirmed, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao II promises to be one of the most high-profile sporting events of 2026, combining nostalgia, rivalry and spectacle under the Netflix banner.
