Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather 2 is now officially in the works, with the announcement made by Manny Pacquiao himself, during a New Year's Eve event in Japan. The prospect of this “big fight” has certainly generated excitement, especially since it will take place in Japan in 2024.
Pacquiao shared this news while apologizing for his absence from the ring in 2023 due to his involvement with the RIZIN Fighting Federation . Although the exact details were not revealed during the announcement, it promises to be a major event in the world of boxing.
According to reports from Bloody Elbow , it appears that the rematch of their 2015 fight will more likely be an exhibition than a professional match. Both boxing legends having retired from their professional careers, have since competed only in exhibition matches. Interestingly, their 2015 fight remains the highest-selling pay-per-view bout in history, with approximately 4.6 million buys, demonstrating the scale of the hype these two champions generated.
Expectations are high for this long-awaited meeting between Pacquiao and Mayweather, and fans around the world will closely follow future developments from this exceptional event. Stay tuned for more exciting information as it is revealed.
