Age Comparison: How Old Are Mayweather and Pacquiao?
Mayweather and Pacquiao generated some serious box office when they met at the ‘Fight of the Century’ in 2015, and by dancing more than a decade later, they are now set to draw millions of fight fans to Netflix. Still, there’s no denying that Father Time is catching up with both fighters. Mayweather is 49, while Pacquiao is slightly younger at 47.
When was their last official fight?
Both Mayweather and Pacquiao have continued to tread the boards, with their last fights taking place very recently. “Money” completed an exhibition rematch in 2024, with John Gotti III, while Pacquiao took former K1 Super Lightweight Champion Rukiya Anpo to the distance that same year. Since these were practice fights, no winners were declared.
In terms of their last professional boxing matches, the difference is much greater. Mayweather defeated UFC star Connor McGregor via tenth-round TKO in 2017, while Pacquiao ended a four-year retirement to draw with WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios in May 2025.
What are their professional details?
Mayweather has an undefeated boxing record of 50 wins, 27 of which were via knockout. Pacquiao’s record is less perfect, but he has won more fights and has 62 victories, 39 of which were by KO. PacMan, a Southpaw, has lost eight times, including the 2015 loss to Mayweather, and has drawn three times. “I already fought once and beat Manny.” Mayweather told Netflix at a recent press event. “This time will be the same result.”
Despite the unanimous decision to award Mayweather the fight of the century, Pacquiao has always maintained that he was the true victor, given Mayweather’s overly defensive style and lack of offense.
Why this rematch is important for boxing fans
The original May 12, 2015 fight between these two boxing icons was a serious money spinner, generating over $600 million from pay-per-view buys and being hailed as the most lucrative boxing match ever. That was reported Mayweather took home the lion’s share of the purseearning $275 million, while Pacquiao earned $150 million that night. Both men will undoubtedly be past their prime in 2026, but the demand for returning heroes is at an all-time high. “The fans have waited long enough. They deserve this rematch,” Pacquiao said promoting the fight with Netflix.
The first fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao generated 4.6 million PPV buys in the United States, but Netflix’s recent string of celebrity and nostalgia-driven attacks have taken boxing further into the stratosphere. Incredibly, 108 million people tuned into the streaming platform to watch 58-year-old ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson take on Jake Paul, who was only 27.
