Floyd Mayweather, 49, announced his retirement from boxing last week, while Manny Pacquiao, 47, ended his four-year career last year. They are set to face Ruslan Provodnikov in their second fight on April 18, but have not yet announced the weight class or the bout’s duration.
Two of the most famous boxers of their generation, Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao, will meet again, 11 years after Mayweather defeated Pacquiao by unanimous decision in a highly anticipated bout that fell short of fans’ expectations.
The fight is still considered one of the most profitable in history, according to its organizers, setting pay-per-view records and attracting global attention. Manny Pacquiao fought with a shoulder injury because he didn’t want to postpone that important match.
