Floyd Mayweather has recently confirmed he still intends to rematch Manny Pacquiao, and the American has also declared that he believes another return fight is on the cards.
Mayweather-Pacquiao II was scheduled to take place in September following an announcement for the event from Netflix, until Mayweather’s legal issues caused it to be cancelled.
It is still believed that the pair will meet again in 2027, with ‘TBE’ willing to put his famous 50-0 professional record on the line, despite what will be a decade-long spell of professional inactivity when he returns to the ring.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao made his comeback in July 2025 and is currently being linked to a return to action on the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua undercard in December, where he has been mentioned for a fight with two-time world champion Joe Cordina.
On the PBD Podcast, Mayweather revealed that a second showdown with Pacquiao is not the only rematch on his mind, admitting his interest in another battle with UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
“I actually think that me and Conor McGregor may lock up again, actually, absolutely.”
Mayweather beat McGregor by 10th round stoppage when they met in August 2017. The Irishman returned to fight in the UFC for the first time since 2021 when he faced Max Holloway earlier this year, but a knee injury brought the contest to an early end.
Continuing, 49-year-old Mayweather explained why a boxing bout with him would be a viable option for the Irishman next year.
“He didn’t break his hand, he broke his foot, right? Okay, well we going from the shoulders.”
Mayweather also reiterated his plans to face heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in an exhibition before the end of the year, in order to help him prepare for a professional comeback in 2027.
