Two legends who made a page in boxing history rematch. Manny Pacquiao (47, Philippines) and Floyd Mayweather (48, USA) will play their first official game in 11 years. Their reunion, dubbed the showdown of the century, is once again wowing sports fans around the world.

British media 'BBC' reported on the 24th (Korea Standard Time) that "Boxing legends Pacquiao and Mayweather agreed to hold a rematch as a professional game in September." The two players will reportedly face off at Spear in Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 19. The game will be broadcast live worldwide on Netflix.

For Mayweather, who announced his fourth return by announcing his retirement reversal last week, this is the first official professional boxing match in nine years since beating mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor by a 10-round TKO in 2017.

Pacquiao also announced his retirement to focus on his political career in 2021, but returned to the ring in July with a draw in the title match against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios.

First, Mayweather laughed in the first game. The first meeting between the two players took place in 2015. Called the match of the century at the time, it was recorded as the highest-grossing event in boxing history. On this day, Mayweather won a unanimous decision against Pacquiao.

It is a great opportunity to see the match of the century again. After confirming the rematch, Pacquiao said, "Floyd and I have shown the world the biggest game in boxing history. "The fans have waited long enough and deserve this rematch," he said, expressing his strong will, "I want to leave the only loss in Floyd's professional career, and I will remember forever who caused that defeat."

Mayweather, on the other hand, said, "I've already fought Manny and won. The results will be the same this time," he responded. Mayweather, who has an unbeaten record of winning 50 games (27KO) in his professional career, has been playing steadily since his retirement in 2017. This year, Mike Tyson is also scheduled to face off. "From Tyson and events to the next professional game, no one is going to generate a bigger entrance profit than me, a worldwide audience, and more money," Mayweather said with confidence.

In 2015, the two men's confrontation broke all records with 4.6 million paperview (PPV) sales and $72 million (about 104 billion won) in entrance revenue at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

However, not all views on this rematch are positive. 'BBC's Carl Sajad said in an analysis, "There is no more surprise to the boxing world, but the 2015 showdown was already too late to meet expectations. No one in 2026 craved this rematch," he pointed out.

In particular, noting that this game is not an exhibition event, but an official professional game, "The only box office factor is that Mayweather has been undefeated." In the end, it is difficult to erase the feeling that the two legends are driven by money to win huge prize money."

Details such as Mayweather and Pacquiao's rematch undercard will be announced later.
