Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing The Ring’s Mike Coppinger, report active discussions for a 2026 rematch with Netflix exploring the broadcast.
- No deal has been announced and it remains unclear whether the fight would be an exhibition or a sanctioned professional bout.
- Pacquiao, 46, returned in July 2025 with a majority draw against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios and had targeted a late-January Las Vegas return.
- Mayweather, 48, has confined recent activity to exhibitions and has been linked to a separate Mike Tyson exhibition without a confirmed date.
