Photo: Manny Pacquiao / Instagram   Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather ’s 2015 fight remains one of the biggest boxing matches in history. Fans waited years for the bout, which finally took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather entered as the undefeated WBA and WBC welterweight champion, while Pacquiao held the WBO welterweight title. The fight broke records, selling over 4 million pay-per-views and earning more than $72 million from ticket sales. Mayweather won by unanimous decision, finishing his career undefeated with a 50-0 record when he retired in 2017. Pacquiao, on the other hand, kept fighting for several more years, becoming a world champion twice before losing to Yordenis Ugas in 2021. Now, Pacquiao, who hasn’t officially retired, is eyeing a rematch with Mayweather. However, the Filipino boxing legend says Mayweather has one major condition for it to happen: the fight must be an exhibition, not a professional match.

Photo: Floyd Mayweather / Instagram   Floyd Mayweather says he got a $4 million bonus after his rival Manny Pacquiao made a costly mistake. This goes back to their legendary 2015 boxing match, which set records with 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and brought in huge paychecks for both fighters. Mayweather reportedly earned $180 million, while Pacquiao made $120 million. Years after their fight, rumors about a rematch began to swirl. Pacquiao even hinted at it publicly, stepping into a Japanese ring to suggest the match was close. But Mayweather was quick to say Pacquiao's comments were out of line. “He shouldn’t have said my name,” Mayweather told The Pivot Podcast. According to him, mentioning the rematch talks got him an unexpected $4 million payout. “There’s a time and place for everything,” Mayweather said, reminding fans he was the undisputed winner in their 2015 face-off.

Photo: Oscar De La Hoya (Instagram) Oscar De La Hoya , a legendary boxer, recently shared his thoughts on Floyd Mayweather ’s post-retirement career. Mayweather, known for his undefeated record, has been participating in exhibition fights since retiring from professional boxing.  His most recent fight was a rematch with John Gotti III , which went all eight rounds without an official score. This fight followed their first bout, which ended in a chaotic brawl. Mayweather has also fought in exhibition matches against social media star Logan Paul , former reality TV star Aaron Chalmers, and Japanese fighters Mikuru Asakura and Tenshin Nasukawa. These fights have not been well received by many boxing fans. Photo: Oscar De La Hoya (Instagram) De La Hoya, known as “The Golden Boy,” is among those who think Mayweather should stop these exhibitions. In a recent video on Instagram, De La Hoya urged Mayweather to retire for good. He mentioned an incident during Mayweather’s fight with Gotti,...

Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov (Instagram) After Khabib Nurmagomedov retired, many fans hoped he would return for one last fight. UFC President Dana White even tried to bring him back to the octagon to achieve a perfect 30-0 record, a dream of Khabib's late father. However, Khabib stayed retired. Recently, there was talk of Khabib trying something new: a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather . The idea excited many, especially since such a fight could have earned Khabib a huge payday—up to $100 million. But during an appearance on the "Inspire Me" podcast on August 25, Khabib made it clear that he wasn’t interested. “Right now, no. Right now, you know, it’s like everybody know, I am not a boxer,” he said. Unlike his rival Conor McGregor , who fought Mayweather in 2017 and reportedly earned around $130 million, Khabib isn’t tempted by the money. He pointed out that even though people doubt his striking ability, he has always dominated in the octagon. In 29 MMA fights, includ...

Photo: Instagram/Ryan Garcia Ryan Garcia is making headlines again, this time heading to Japan for the big RIZIN Fighting Federation event, Super RIZIN 3, headlined by Manny Pacquiao . Rumors are swirling that Garcia might be considering a fight on New Year's Eve in Japan. The boxing star has had a tumultuous year. After defeating Devin Haney in April, Garcia's win was overturned when the New York State Athletic Commission found a banned substance , Ostarine, in his system. This led to a suspension until April 2025 in North America. Initially, Garcia declared he would compete in the UFC while suspended from boxing. However, the same athletic commissions regulate both sports, preventing him from participating in mixed martial arts.

Garcia and RIZIN FF have confirmed that he will attend the Super RIZIN 3 event at the Saitama Super Arena on July 28th...

While trainers often stay in the background, Davis' coach is stepping into the spotlight, targeting one of the sport's greatest.  Mayweather, who famously claimed, "I'm the best, nobody can beat me," retired with an undefeated 50-0 record.

He can fight another fight if he is great as he says he is. Let's stop spinning the fans, Gervonta vs Floyd." Davis was once part of Mayweather Productions, but since leaving in 2022, tensions have risen, making a potential...

Photo: Instagram/Oscar De La Hoya Oscar De La Hoya has voiced a strong opinion on a hypothetical match-up between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in their primes. According to De La Hoya, Pacquiao would have won "easily." The real fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao in 2015, known as "The Fight of the Century," saw Mayweather win on points. Both boxers were world champions in multiple weight classes, but many fans felt the fight happened too late in their careers. De La Hoya, who has fought and lost to both Mayweather and Pacquiao, discussed the match-up in an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer. He believes Pacquiao's rigorous career and tough fights wore him down, giving Mayweather an edge in their actual bout. Photo: Instagram/Oscar De La Hoya “Pacquiao would have beaten him easily. In their prime? Absolutely,” De La Hoya stated. He explained that Pacquiao's more demanding career left him with more wear and tear, while Mayweather's c...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta Davis continued his impressive knockout streak on Saturday night with a stunning eighth-round victory over Frank Martin. This win allowed him to retain his WBA lightweight world title and marked his 28th knockout in 30 professional fights. Davis' knockout ratio now stands at 93.3%, the second-best among active world champions, just behind Artur Beterbiev's 100%. Davis' victory also brought another milestone: he has now surpassed his former mentor, Floyd Mayweather , in career knockout wins. Mayweather, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record, had 27 knockouts. His last knockout came against Conor McGregor in 2017. Mayweather was known for his strong punching power in the lighter weight classes but relied more on defense and counterpunching as he moved up in weight. In contrast, Davis combines Mayweather's defensive skills with a powerful knockout punch, making him one of the most feared fighters in the ring today. Photo: Instagr...
