Mayweather to fight Pacquiao in Las Vegas in September

LOS ANGELES, California - Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will meet in a professional fight at Las Vegas's Sphere this September, Netflix announced Monday.

The bout between two of the sport's biggest names, who famously fought a blockbuster clash in 2015, comes days after the 48-year-old Mayweather announced he is coming out of retirement, and will be broadcast live on Netflix.

"Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history. The fans have waited long enough—they deserve this rematch," said Pacquiao, 47, in a joint statement. — Agence France Presse
