Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are set for another historic collision as they are set for a highly-anticipated rematch on September 19, streaming platform Netflix announced on Tuesday. 

The announcement came after Mayweather stressed that he is coming out of retirement after his scheduled exhibition match against Mike Tyson.

It is still unknown what weight class and how many rounds the fight will be but it is expected to be another big hit especially following their blockbuster first meeting billed as the “Fight of the Century” 11 years ago. 

“Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history. The fans have waited long enough, they deserve this rematch and it will be even bigger now," said Pacquiao in a statement.

“I want Floyd to live with the one loss on his professional record and always remember who gave it to him,” added the 47-year-old fighter.

“I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result,” said the 49-year-old Mayweather.

Between the two, however, Pacquiao is the more active fighter having challenged former WBC welterweight champion Marrio Barrios, who he forced to a controversial draw.

Mayweather, on the other hand, though seeing action in a couple of exhibitions, last fought professionally when he defeated Conor McGregor in 2017 to compile a perfect 50-0 record.
