Their first clash in May 2015 was the highest-grossing fight in history (around $600–700 million in revenue), with Mayweather winning by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. Pacquiao has long cited a shoulder injury as a factor, and he’s emphasized “no more excuses” this time around.
Mayweather will be 49, and Pacquiao 47. Both are coming out of retirement (Mayweather officially for this pro bout). Pacquiao has expressed excitement, saying fans deserve this and hinting at settling old scores. Mayweather has also been confident, predicting the same outcome as before.
This blockbuster is generating massive buzz, though some critics question the quality given their ages and time away from prime form. Still, the legacy, rivalry, and spectacle make it one of the biggest events in combat sports for 2026.
