Pacquiao Camp Details 8-Ounce Gloves, Predicts Record Streams for Mayweather Jr. Rematch

147-pound bout at Las Vegas Sphere awaits Mayweather response and formal agreement

Manny Pacquiao’s team has presented proposed terms for a second fight with Floyd Mayweather. No contract has been signed, and Mayweather has not publicly responded.

According to comments relayed by Ring Magazine reporter Manouk Akopyan, Pacquiao Promotions CEO Jas Mathur said the bout would be contested at 147 pounds over 10 or 12 three-minute rounds using 8-ounce gloves. The targeted date is September 19 at the Las Vegas Sphere, with the event to stream on Netflix under its subscription model.

From a regulatory standpoint, the fight would require Nevada State Athletic Commission approval and standard sanctioning oversight if it is recognized as a professional contest. Mathur also indicated that USADA testing is expected to be part of the framework.

Mathur stated there are guaranteed purses for both fighters, with additional back-end participation tied to overall performance. When asked whether each man would exceed $50 million, he said the figure would be over that mark. He also projected that a rematch could surpass the streaming numbers generated by the Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul event on Netflix in 2024.

Both fighters are well past their prime now in their late forties, which puts conditioning, pacing, and how they manage the late rounds at the center of the competitive balance.

Revenue expectations are high. The 2015 bout produced record pay-per-view numbers and still ranks among the biggest financial nights the sport has seen. This version would move entirely to a streaming platform under a subscription model.

At present, the framework has been outlined only by Pacquiao’s camp. Until Mayweather responds and paperwork is executed, there is no sanctioning clearance, no confirmed testing agreement, and no finalized purse structure in place.
