Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao Netflix rematch is being ‘seriously discussed’ despite Mike Tyson plans

Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao could be coming to Netflix in 2026

On Inside The Ring, Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger broke some news to kick off the show.

The episode was teased as providing an update on the surprising opponent that could face Manny Pacquiao when he steps back inside the ring in 2026.

Right off the bat, Coppinger revealed that Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather 2, a rematch of the biggest fight in boxing history, has been spoken about.

The two men first met in May of 2015, where after ‘Money’ won a unanimous decision at the end of 12 rounds, many felt like the fight had happened too late in their careers.

Mayweather is already lined up to face Mike Tyson in an exhibition bout next year, though a date hasn’t been made official for this clash of icons as of yet.

The bout was announced in September, with spring being the rough timeframe for when it is expected to take place after being signed.

Coppinger also added that Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 is specifically being spoken about in relation to Netflix putting the event on to continue their streak of only staging the biggest fights in the sport.

“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 announced. “I think there’s a real possibility this is going to happen.”

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have had very different careers since their fight

After their eventual meeting in 2015 was a huge moment for both men, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao went down very different paths in their careers.

Mayweather only fought two more times as a professional, taking his record to 30-0 before he regularly started competing in exhibition bouts against the likes of Logan Paul.

Pacquiao, who is two years younger than his former foe, has continued to compete in the professional ranks, though he did take a four-year break from 2021 to 2025.

If their first fight was criticized due to their best days being behind them, it will be interesting to see how much interest this rematch generates.
