The two biggest-grossing legends in boxing history will face off again in an official professional boxing match for the first time in 11 years. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48, USA) and Manny Pacquiao (47, Philippines), who shook the world by generating a record 500 million pounds (about 967.9 billion won) during the 2015 match, will write a new history through a rematch.

"The rematch between Mayweather and Pacquiao was made to break the Netflix record," the British media "The Sun" reported on the 27th (Korea Standard Time).

Earlier, according to major media such as 'BBC', Mayweather and Pacquiao agreed to hold a rematch at Spear in Las Vegas on Saturday, September 19. The game will be broadcast live worldwide on Netflix, which has more than 350 million subscribers.

In the past, the first confrontation in 2015 broke all indicators with 4.6 million paperview (PPV) sales and $72 million (about 104 billion won) in admission revenue at MGM Grand Garden Arena alone. The Sun said, "At the time, the two players ended a half-century of debate with a profit of £500 million," adding, "But Mayweather became interested in returning when Netflix stepped into the boxing world. "I was only thinking about Pacquiao as an opponent for the return match," he explained.

The rematch took place with Saudi Arabian financier Turki Alal-Sikh and Netflix. According to The Sun, Jas Mathur, who has been working with Mayweather for the past decade, has ruled out numerous intermediaries and made a face-to-face confrontation. Pacquiao's return to a draw with Mario Barrios in July last year was also found to be a stimulus to attract Mayweather back into the ring.

For now, Mayweather put his pride on this game. This game is a professional game that could break Mayweather's record of winning all 50 games.

"The fans have waited long enough and deserve this rematch," said Pacquiao, who lost his first face-off. "I want to leave Floyd with the only loss." I will forever remember who caused the defeat," he said.

Mayweather also said, "I've already beaten Manny. The result will be the same, he said, adding, "No one can generate greater entrance profits and more money than me."

However, there is also a critical view of this game. The BBC said, "The 2015 confrontation was already too late to meet expectations. No one longed for this rematch in 2026, he said. "It is difficult to erase the feeling that this game is a game in which the two legends are driven by money to win huge prizes." In fact, the two players are expected to be guaranteed at least 50 million dollars (about 72 billion won) in the match.
