BREAKING: Joe Rogan DEMANDS Manny Pacquiao To Accept Floyd Mayweather Fight Contract

The combat sports world is on fire after Joe Rogan, the outspoken UFC commentator and podcast host, issued a fiery demand to Manny Pacquiao: accept a blockbuster fight contract against Floyd Mayweather for a long-overdue rematch. On the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan didn’t hold back, declaring, “Manny, you’ve got to sign this contract! The world needs this fight—stop ducking and let’s make history again!”

Rogan’s Call to Action

Rogan’s explosive comments come amid swirling rumors of a Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch, a decade after their record-breaking 2015 showdown that amassed 4.6 million pay-per-view buys—the highest in combat sports history. Mayweather, now 48, has been teasing a return to the ring after a series of exhibition bouts, while Pacquiao, 46, remains a beloved figure despite stepping back from professional boxing in recent years. Rogan, a longtime advocate for the rematch, reignited the debate by slamming Pacquiao for hesitation.

“Floyd’s ready, the contract’s on the table, and fans deserve this,” Rogan stated on his podcast, which aired earlier today. “Manny was injured last time with a messed-up shoulder—let’s see what happens when both are healthy. This could be the biggest fight of the decade!” Rogan’s remarks echo his past sentiments, where he noted the 2015 fight happened “too late” and Pacquiao’s shoulder injury hindered the spectacle fans expected.

A Fight That Never Faded

The 2015 clash saw Mayweather cement his undefeated legacy with a unanimous decision over Pacquiao, but controversy lingered. Pacquiao’s shoulder injury, which required surgery post-fight, and the Nevada Athletic Commission’s denial of an anti-inflammatory shot left many wondering what could have been. Rogan has previously speculated that a prime matchup—potentially in a modern setting like Riyadh under Turki Al-Sheikh’s promotion—could outshine even the biggest UFC events.

Now, with Mayweather reportedly offering a $150 million purse for a December 2025 rematch in Las Vegas, Rogan’s demand has added fuel to the fire. Sources close to Pacquiao’s camp suggest the Filipino legend is “considering” the offer but remains cautious due to his age and recent political commitments in the Philippines. Mayweather, meanwhile, has stayed silent, though his history of dismissing rematch rumors (as seen in 2022) keeps fans on edge.

Fans and Fighters React

The internet exploded following Rogan’s comments, with social media platforms buzzing. One post on X read, “Rogan’s right—Manny needs to step up! We need this rematch!” Others questioned Pacquiao’s readiness, noting, “He’s 46, can he still hang with Floyd?” The boxing community is divided, with some praising Rogan for pushing the narrative, while others see it as pressure on a retired icon.

Fellow fighters have chimed in, with Conor McGregor tweeting, “Pacquiao vs. Mayweather 2? I’d watch that over any UFC card!” The hype has also sparked betting interest, with early odds favoring Mayweather but offering lucrative returns for a Pacquiao upset.

What’s Next?

As the boxing world waits for Pacquiao’s response, the pressure is on. Will “PacMan” accept the contract and give fans the rematch they’ve craved for a decade, or will Rogan’s demand fall on deaf ears? With Mayweather’s camp reportedly eyeing a December date, the clock is ticking for a decision that could reshape combat sports history.
