The fight, a Netflix event, has been scheduled for September 19 in Las Vegas. With the fighters goint to be 45-plus, the bout is not expected to be of as high quality as it would have been with both of them in their prime or in 2015.

“Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history,” said Pacquiao. "The fans have waited long enough – they deserve this rematch, and it will be even bigger now that it will be streamed live globally on Netflix. I want Floyd to live with the one loss on his professional record and always remember who gave it to him. As always, I dedicate this fight to my fellow Filipinos around the world and to bringing glory to the Philippines."
Mayweather, on the other hand, was not very subtle in his comments and said: "I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result."
Both the boxers are expected to get millions of dollars from the fight even if it proves to be a tame rematch of their already past-prime fight from 2015.
