Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are now expected to meet on September 26 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, with the Netflix-streamed rematch also expected to count officially on both fighters’ professional records rather than being staged as an exhibition.
BoxingScene’s Lance Pugmire reported Thursday that two officials close to negotiations expect the fight to move forward later in the month after talks shifted away from The Sphere, which had originally been discussed for September 19.
“Two officials close to the negotiations told BoxingScene on Thursday night that the rematch of the most lucrative prizefight in history will take place on September 26 on Netflix… BoxingScene reported last week that the fight… was moving away from The Sphere in Las Vegas, with that Madison Square Garden-owned arena filling the previously scheduled September 19 vacancy with an Eagles concert.”
One connected official also told BoxingScene that both camps had already agreed to all conditions for the fight.
The original 2015 bout at MGM Grand ended with Mayweather defeating Pacquiao by unanimous decision in one of the biggest pay-per-view events in boxing history.
