The highly anticipated boxing rematch between Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao and American great Floyd Mayweather Jr. is finally set to happen, according to exclusive reports from World Boxing News.
Negotiations Successfully Completed
A senior insider directly involved in the negotiations revealed to World Boxing News that the long-discussed rematch between these boxing icons will likely be officially announced in the coming days. This development comes after years of failed attempts to organize a second encounter between the two champions.
The source confirmed that all outstanding issues have been resolved and both camps have reached a mutual agreement. "We'll be making announcements shortly," the WBN source was quoted as saying, indicating that fans won't have to wait much longer for official confirmation.
History of the Rivalry
Mayweather defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision in their first encounter on May 2, 2015, in what was dubbed the "Fight of the Century." Since that disappointing loss, the Philippine National Fist has repeatedly attempted to arrange a rematch, but negotiations consistently encountered obstacles and complications.
Unlike previous attempts where discussions became muddled and ultimately collapsed, this time around the situation appears完全不同. Based on information obtained from reliable sources, WBN reports that the path is now clear for the blockbuster rematch to proceed.
Expected Impact and Records
If finalized, industry experts believe the much-anticipated rematch could shatter numerous records, similar to what occurred during their first encounter. The initial fight set records for:
- Highest boxing pay-per-view buys
- Largest boxing gate revenue
- Most global media coverage for a boxing event
The potential rematch is expected to generate even greater interest given the history between the fighters and Pacquiao's continued popularity in the boxing world despite his retirement from professional boxing.
Boxing enthusiasts worldwide, particularly in the Philippines where Pacquiao remains a national hero, are eagerly awaiting the official announcement that could bring closure to one of boxing's greatest unfinished rivalries.
