Both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao gave one of the most legendary fights in boxing history in 2015 and now the Filipino raised his voice to announce that they will step into the ring again in 2024 in a new exhibition.

Pacquiao will come out of retirement and face another retiree, Mayweather. The Filipino had a moment of indiscretion and declared during an event in Tokyo, Japan, that there will be a rematch between them for 2024.

Since 2021 Pacquiao retired from the ring, while Mayweather returned to a fight with mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor in 2017.

This second contest between Pacquiao and Mayweather means a rematch for Pac-Man, who in the controversial fight of 2015 lost it against

Money, who officially retired from the boxing scene as undefeated; and apparently this second fight will take place in 2024 much earlier than expected, and with both as retired and with political and business activities.

Although in his announcement The Pacman did not reveal the tentative date for the fight, so it will be in the coming days when the day could be known, for his part Mayweather has not spoken about it, so the boxing world is waiting for more information in the early days of 2024.

Floyd Mayweather has once again indulged himself with wheels by buying what he calls “one of my toys”. The former American boxer, who is used to show us from time to time his huge collection of cars (including Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach…) wanted to share on social networks his new McLaren 750 S Spider.

It is a car that breaks with what he usually accumulates in his garage.

Reaches 332 km/h

What does not change is that it is a supercar. The McLaren has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine anchored to the rear of a carbon fiber monocoque structure.

The engine delivers 750 hp and 800 Nm of torque to the rear wheels, thanks to which it takes only 2.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 and reaches a top speed of 332 km/h.

But why does he show it off? On occasions he has publicly stated that he shows his cars off to make his ‘haters’ envious, and on this occasion he has admitted that “I’m sorry, but I had to sting you all with this killer bee”.

Neither black nor white

More than just to tease (we want to assume), this multimillionaire who always appears spending huge amounts of money on clothes, jewelry and watches has shown it because he owns a huge amount of white or black cars.

But he has never (except once when he showed his first car, which was also yellow) been seen driving a car of another color. Mayweather acknowledges that he owns a couple of cars in these “crazy colors,” as he calls them.

In any case, the madness is the price of the car, and it is more than worth it: about 350,000 dollars.

Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is one of the most famous athletes to step into the boxing ring. Holding a 50-0 professional record and wins over names such as Manny Pacquiao, his place in history is secure. Since his 2017 retirement, Mayweather has consistently been labeled one of the greatest of all time, and for good reason.

However, that doesn’t mean his historic career didn’t happen without controversy. He had a lot of it. Across Mayweather’s 50 wins in his professional career, many of those bouts were contentious. These ten cut the most controversial victories, but some are far more problematic than others.

10.Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor

Some Were Unhappy With The Stoppage In This Clash

While some have likely forgotten, there was controversy in Floyd Mayweather’s 2017 win over Conor McGregor. As some might recall, ‘The Notorious’ had some early success but wound up losing by tenth-round stoppage in this surreal matchup.

Some, including McGregor, believed that the referee’s stoppage was too early, as he hadn’t been dropped in the bout. Furthermore, some aimed at the judges on this night as well. While McGregor had early success in the eyes of many, the judges firmly had Mayweather leading.

9.Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton

As It Turns Out, Styles Make Fights

Floyd Mayweather’s 2007 clash with Ricky Hatton was a clash of styles. Ultimately, ‘The Hitman’ was unable to get inside, and wound up suffering a tenth-round stoppage. However, there was some controversy in this fight.

Referee Joe Cortez came under fire in this one, for being biased towards Mayweather. Hatton himself agreed and drew reference to being deducted points for hitting his opponent behind the head, despite ‘Money’ turning his back to him.

8.Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana II

The Rematch Between These Two Was Again Close

Floyd Mayweather’s second bout with Marcos Maidana resembled the first fight quite a bit. However, this time around, ‘Money’ wound up scoring a more dominant and decisive victory, winning by unanimous decision.

While the rematch with ‘El Chino’ wasn’t as close as their first bout, some still believed that Maidana deserved the nod here. Although, it wasn’t many.

7.Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

‘The Fight of The Century’ Was Disappointing

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao’s 2015 clash is still the biggest boxing match of all time. Still, ‘Money’ emerged with a win by unanimous decision, in a bout that didn’t have a whole lot of action.

Despite the lackluster bout, some did believe that ‘PacMan’ deserved the nod here. Pacquiao himself has stated repeatedly since 2015 that he deserved the win.

6.Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz

Cheap Shot or Justified?

Floyd Mayweather’s 2011 knockout win over Victor Ortiz is still one of the most controversial victories on his resume. That night ‘Money’ scored a fourth-round knockout win after being headbutted moments prior.

While nobody doubts that Mayweather deserved the win, many still labeled the shot a cheap one. While it was a legal punch, it happened moments after a break in the action, and Ortiz seemingly didn’t know the fight was ongoing.

5.Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez

This One Isn’t Controversial Because of Mayweather.

Floyd Mayweather’s 2013 bout with Canelo Alvarez was titled ‘The One’. While many hoped to see the young Mexican superstar upset ‘Money’, he wound up suffering a majority decision defeat. Unlike other entries, this fight isn’t controversial because of Mayweather.

4.Floyd Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya

‘Golden Boy’ Is The Only Man To Take A Scorecard From Mayweather

Oscar De La Hoya’s 2007 clash with Floyd Mayweather was somewhat of a passing of the torch. Not really in terms of fight styles, but in terms of pay-per-view draws. This bout was massive, and ‘Golden Boy’ set a then-record for highest purse in boxing history with $52 million.

Ultimately, Mayweather emerged with a split-decision win here, but many De La Hoya fans felt that he deserved the nod. For what it’s worth, the Mexican boxer is still the only man to take a scorecard from ‘Money’.

3.Floyd Mayweather vs. Jose Luis Castillo II

‘El Terrible’ Is Still One Of Mayweather’s Toughest Fights

In December 2002, Floyd Mayweather and Jose Luis Castillo had a high-profile rematch for lightweight gold. The fight took less than a year after their first bout, and this one was again extremely close.

Much like the first fight, Mayweather used his speed, and defensive prowess, while Castillo tried to use his size to his advantage. Ultimately, ‘Pretty Boy’ emerged with a unanimous decision win. Although, some believed that Castillo deserved the win, as he landed the bigger, and more impactful shots.

2.Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana

‘El Chino’ Nearly Upset ‘Money’ in May 2014

While some believed Marcos Maidana deserved the nod in his rematch with Floyd Mayweather, their first bout was much more controversial. ‘El Chino’ really caught the legend by surprise with his physicality in their first fight.

Maidana didn’t treat this like a boxing match, he treated it like a fight. While some believed he deserved the nod here, ‘Money’ emerged with the win by majority decision.

1.Floyd Mayweather vs. Jose Luis Castillo

This Is The Most Controversial Win Of Mayweather’s CareerWhile Floyd Mayweather has a lot of close fights, his first fight with Jose Luis Castillo is seen as the closest. ‘El Terrible’ was aggressive, and much like Maidana, tried to bend the rules quite a bit. To his credit, it worked quite well.

 

However, Mayweather still emerged with a unanimous decision win. Over 20 years on from this night, fans still debate if Castillo deserved the victory over the legend.

A long-running debate recently re-opened over whether Floyd Mayweather holds “The Best Ever” undefeated run in the sport of boxing.

Mayweather, who retired in 2015 but has competed in exhibitions since then, essentially claims to have the most significant benchmark of 50-0.

The Las Vegas native regularly informs fans and media that his record proves he’s the number one fighter of all time. However, a newer generation has discovered Ricardo Lopez’s efforts.

Lopez, now 57, retired in 2001 on 51-0-1. His 52 bouts unbeaten from the start of his career in 1985 trumps that of Mayweather. There’s also the not-so-small-matter of Lopez being perfect in the amateurs.

Over four years, “Finito” won consecutive Mexican National Championships in a run that wasn’t officially totaled. It’s likely to be at least 50 contests.

Floyd Mayweather’s 50-0

That would take Lopez to over 100 bouts without loss from 1981 to 2001. Meanwhile, Mayweather’s amateur record is also unofficial 44-7.

Compared to Lopez, Mayweather would be 94-7 in the unpaid and professional codes. Therefore, Lopez has the upper hand in both, dependent on the point of view.

The only blot on the copybook is that Lopez has a draw on his CV from his 48th bout against Rosendo Alvarez. It’s the only argument Mayweather has regarding his 50-0 record being the best.

Ironically, both fighters share the most successive world title victories with heavyweight Joe Louis. So there’s a further debate for Lopez to be classed among the greats.

The only downside for Lopez is that he campaigned in the two lowest-weight categories. Historically, those are overlooked the most.

As for Mayweather, his tenure is fresher in the memory. The fact he’s constantly in the spotlight and able to reiterate his achievements keeps him at the forefront – especially in the United States.

Beating Manny Pacquiao in 2015 and Canelo Alvarez as a young buck are two of the most-talked-about events still to this day.

Pacquiao is unbelievably still linked to a rematch. At the same time, Canelo remains a pound-for-pound star of the sport and a link back to Mayweather.

Ricardo Lopez – Finito

Lopez doesn’t have that notoriety. He only has the 52-fight undefeated record and the hope that others bring him into the equation.

This happened recently, leading to Generation Z discovering Mayweather is not the only one who went fifty fights without loss.

The fact opened a significant trend on social platforms, with many of those discussing unaware Mayweather had a rival claimant. Rocky Marciano was thought to be the only one with his 49-0 effort, which Mayweather overhauled.

Ricard Lopez is a legend in his own right. There’s no taking that away from him. But the argument about the best record will never fully get settled in the cold light of day.

In a highly anticipated clash, undefeated two-time super middleweight world champion David Benavidez, boasting a pristine record of 27-0 with 3 KOs, stepped into the ring against the equally undefeated Demetrius Andrade (32-0, 19 KOs). The showdown unfolded at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada as Andrade’s team had to stop the fight and Benavidez won by a TKO.y

While Benavidez put his heart and soul into training for the fight, being just a great fighter is not enough for him. What he aspires to be is someone who can entertain as well. In an interview with FightHype.com, he explained why it is important to him.

David Benavidez explains his priorities in a fight

In the interview, the interviewer asks David Benavidez about the balance between being an exciting fighter and a great one. Benavidez emphasized the importance of both. Putting himself in the shoes of a fan, he said “Me as a fan, I don’t wanna spend my money and see something I don’t like to see at the end of the day, these fights are expensive to the regular person” highlighting that as a fan himself, he wouldn’t want to spend money on a fight that’s not enjoyable.

He expresses the desire for fans to find value in purchasing his fights. When asked about the approach of fighters like Terence Crawford and Floyd Mayweather, who ease into the early rounds to assess their opponents, Benavidez reveals that he’s followed a similar strategy throughout his career, recognizing the significance of pacing in a 12-round bout. This insight into Benavidez’s mindset reflects his commitment to delivering not only great performances but also an engaging experience for the audience. What are Benavidez’s plans moving forward?

If not Canelo Alvarez, who is the ‘Mexican Monster’ eyeing next?

 

In the aftermath of his recent victory, Benavidez has thrown down the gauntlet, suggesting he could step up to a higher weight class for a showdown if Canelo Alvarez hesitates to face him. The combat sports community is abuzz with anticipation for a clash between the two boxing titans. Benavidez, eyeing a super middleweight bout against the undisputed champion Alvarez, voiced his eagerness during the post-fight press conference.

However, he also entertained the possibility of a leap to the light heavyweight division, setting the stage for a potential face-off with WBA champion Dmitry Bivol. The intrigue deepens as Benavidez explores multiple avenues for his next formidable challenge, leaving fans eager to see which path unfolds in this gripping narrative.

Much of a boxer’s career depends on how well the fans receive them. Pleasing the fans ensures a good bag after the fight. However, it becomes important to strike an equilibrium between putting up a good show and putting the win on the line. Benavidez plans to strike the right balance between the two. Who would you like to see the fighter brawl with next?
