Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao announced this week that they will fight again on Saturday, Sept. 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with the bout set to be broadcast on a major streaming service. Manny Pacquiao is part of a matchup that resurrects a rivalry first fought in 2015, and the announcement immediately sparked bookmaker action and a compact schedule of exhibition buildups for both men.
What’s confirmed for the rematch
The two former rivals will meet at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 19. The bout will be broadcast on a major streaming service. The rematch follows their 2015 meeting, when Floyd Mayweather Jr. emerged victorious by an easy unanimous decision.
Odds and betting market movement
Initial wagering opened with Mayweather listed as the favorite at -175 at a prominent sportsbook, while Pacquiao opened as the underdog at +125. That line moved, and by Tuesday afternoon Mayweather was up to -190 with an implied probability of 65. 5%, and Pacquiao was listed at +140. Those figures show Mayweather holding the betting edge at launch and then widening it slightly over the first betting window.
Manny Pacquiao’s recent activity and comeback
Manny Pacquiao retired in 2021 before coming out of retirement to post a draw against Mario Barrios last July. He is scheduled for an exhibition this year against Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18. Pacquiao is 47 years old.
Floyd Mayweather’s recent activity and status
Floyd Mayweather Jr. carries a 50-0 record in his boxing career into the rematch announcement. He retired in 2015 after a win against Andre Berto, then came out of retirement in August 2017 to fight Conor McGregor. Mayweather appears to be heading toward an April 25 fight against Mike Tyson and is currently 49 years old.
How the first fight and atmosphere shape expectations
Their 2015 fight set a pay-per-view record with 4. 6 million buys, though the bout was widely viewed as disappointing from an entertainment perspective. That legacy — massive commercial success paired with muted in-ring drama — frames expectations for the rematch and the surrounding exhibition calendar for both fighters.
