Pacquiao Buys Mayweather Gym for Rematch Base

Manny Pacquiao has acquired a former Mayweather Boxing + Fitness location in Los Angeles, rebranding it as a Pacquiao Prime Boxing club to serve as his training base for the upcoming Netflix rematch against Floyd Mayweather. The move, orchestrated by Pacquiao Promotions CEO Jas Mathur, was described as purely business despite the obvious symbolism.

The Mayweather gym had reportedly been shuttered after the franchise owner chose not to renew the lease. The rematch, scheduled for September at Las Vegas' Sphere venue, is a redux of their 2015 bout which Mayweather won by unanimous decision. Mayweather has already raised questions about the agreement, suggesting it might be an exhibition rather than a professional fight. noplasticplease.life
