Overview
- Ring Magazine reporting says both camps are in active discussions for a sequel that Netflix is exploring for next year.
- It remains undecided whether the bout would be a sanctioned fight or an exhibition, and no contract, date or venue is in place.
- Pacquiao returned in July with a draw against Mario Barrios, has acknowledged talks in recent interviews, and has said he prefers a sanctioned fight.
- Scheduling questions persist given Mayweather’s separately reported plan for a Mike Tyson exhibition and Pacquiao’s previously announced January 24 Las Vegas return.
- The 2015 meeting set pay-per-view and revenue records, a key driver for a rematch even as fan reaction is skeptical and Oscar De La Hoya predicts another Mayweather win.
