Mayweather vs Pacman 2 very possible now.
They said the fight would not happen but as we know in boxing as is the case in life, impossible is nothing.
In a year of world champions being made in 2026 with huge upsets happening all over in the sport, more surprise good news has come now.
Floyd Mayweather has confirmed he will return to professional boxing following a big exhibition with the one and only Mike Tyson.
He didn’t say against who this year but we think it leaves the door open to Pacman due to:
- Perfect timing — Pro return slated for summer 2026, aligning with ongoing rematch discussions for late 2026.Both active pros — Pacquiao’s recent return (e.g., 2025 draw vs. Barrios) enables a sanctioned bout, not just exhibition.
- Mutual negotiations — Talks described as “ongoing” and “almost in agreement” on terms, with Pacquiao pushing for it.
- Massive revenue potential — Sequel to 2015’s record-breaker would generate huge gates, PPV/streaming (e.g., Netflix interest), and global buzz.
- New promotional setup — Exclusive CSI Sports/Fight Sports deal facilitates high-profile sanctioned fights, including legacy matchups.
- Media links it directly — ESPN, Ring Magazine, Fox Sports, etc., explicitly tie the unretirement to rematch possibilities given Pacquiao’s status.
- Unfinished business — 2015 controversy (Pacquiao’s injury claims) creates demand for a decisive rematch.
- Streaming platform boost — Potential Netflix broadcast for 2026 could make it a massive event, amplified by Tyson hype.
- Legacy and records drive — At 48-49, Mayweather seeks more milestones; facing Pacquiao fits as a historic, marketable clash.
- Huge fan/expert buzz — Announcement sparks predictions (e.g., from insiders) that it puts the rematch “back on the table” and builds pressure for it.
Soon Mayweather will take on Mike Tyson first in a huge event for the sport in Africa in April.
Then it is possibly onto Mayweather vs Pacman 2 in the real professional boxing ring.
