Manny Pacquiao’s son is being lined up to feature on the undercard of his father’s rematch with Floyd Mayweather.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mayweather and Pacquiao originally fought in the 21st century’s biggest ever boxing event in 2015, an event which generated unprecedented revenue and public interest.<\/p>\n

Now 11 years on, the pair will do battle again despite being way beyond the peak of their physical powers.<\/p>\n

It promises to be once again be one of the biggest events ever live on Netflix on September 19 from Las Vegas’ Sphere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mayweather’s protege Curmel Moton<\/a> is already expected to land a spot on the card.<\/p>\n

And Jas Mathur, a vital cog in putting the event together, expects the best of boxing’s next generation of talent to be stepping under the bright lights.<\/p>\n

He told World Boxing News<\/a>: “The plan for the undercard is to make it meaningful and forward-looking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just about one historic main event, it\u2019s about showcasing the future of boxing. <\/p>\n

“We want generational storytelling on the card, blending established names, emerging contenders, and rising young stars who represent the next era of the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have fighters like Manny Pacquiao Jr. (Jimuel) from Manny Pacquiao Promotions and Curmel Moton from Mayweather Promotions who embody that legacy-meets-future dynamic. <\/p>\n

“Those are the kinds of athletes we\u2019re looking to spotlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn September 19, with a global platform of this scale, we intend to build the next generation of stars while honoring the legends who paved the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jimuel Pacquiao, son of the Filipino legend, has fought just once as a professional which saw him fight to a majority draw<\/a> with Brendan Lally last November.<\/p>\n

He is expected to first return on April 3 in California, with a win likely to earn his place on the historic bill.<\/p>\n

How Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 happened<\/p>\n

Much like the first fight, it always seemed like a second fight would never happen particularly given the pair hadn’t fought competitively for many years.<\/p>\n

But Pacquiao first returned in a world title shot against Mario Barrios<\/a> last July, which saw him put on a brave display but be held to a controversial draw.<\/p>\n

Mayweather has only fought in exhibitions and has had talks over the sequel, but wasn’t previously willing to risk his professional record.<\/p>\n

But now the American decided to reverse his decision to hang up his gloves and is willing to risk his perfect 50-0 record.<\/p>\n
