31 Oct
Summary
- Mayweather and Pacquiao's 2015 fight was billed as "Fight of the Century"
- Pacquiao says a rematch is "almost agreed" and the two camps are in negotiations
- Pacquiao claims he no longer has the shoulder injury that plagued him in 2015
In October 2025, retired boxing superstars Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are reportedly in talks for a blockbuster rematch, over a decade after their first historic clash. Pacquiao, who is now 46 years old, revealed that the two camps are "directly coordinating" and the rematch is "almost agreed."
The two fighters faced off in 2015 in a bout billed as the "Fight of the Century," with Mayweather emerging victorious by unanimous decision. However, Pacquiao claimed he had suffered a shoulder injury during training that hampered his performance. Now, Pacquiao says he is fully healthy and ready for a rematch.
"It's very interesting because, right now, I don't have a shoulder problem," Pacquiao stated. He added that the potential rematch will likely take place in Las Vegas, though the two sides are still negotiating "a few conditions." Pacquiao expressed confidence that the boxing world would be "excited" if the rematch materializes.
Mayweather, who is now 48 years old, retired from professional boxing in 2017 with an undefeated 50-0 record. Since then, he has participated in exhibition bouts, including an upcoming fight against Mike Tyson. However, Pacquiao believes this will not affect the negotiations for their rematch, calling it a "real fight."
