The boxing world is buzzing once again with news that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may be stepping into the ring for a highly anticipated rematch. While Mayweather made an appearance at a press conference for his upcoming exhibition fight against Mike Zambidis on June 27, it was his comments about a potential Pacquiao bout that stole the spotlight.

Despite reports—and even an announcement from Netflix—that a rematch contract had already been signed, Mayweather poured cold water on those claims. He stated that there were still unresolved issues with the deal, notably insisting that the fight would be an exhibition rather than a professional bout. Pacquiao quickly countered, clarifying that both fighters had signed contracts for a legitimate professional boxing match.

During a recent conversation with boxing reporters, Mayweather offered a more optimistic update. "Well, at this particular time, I know everybody is going to ask questions about the Pacquiao fight," he said. "Like I said, the sport of boxing has truly changed. We have a lot of new companies, a lot of new faces, and Netflix—I truly believe we'll get this done. We're almost at the finish line to finish the Pacquiao fight. A lot of things have changed in the sport of boxing, and eventually, I think within the next 48 hours, the Pacquiao fight should be done."

The original showdown between Mayweather and Pacquiao took place in 2015, a historic event that became the highest-grossing boxing match of all time. Now, over a decade later, both fighters are well past their primes—a point many critics made even back then—but they’re hoping to recapture that commercial magic and deliver another unforgettable night for fans later this year. For those who love the sport and its iconic moments, this potential rematch is shaping up to be a must-watch event.
