Former world champion Mayweather announced last week that he would be making his fourth comeback.
It will be the American’s first professional fight since defeating MMA fighter Conor McGregor via a 10th-round technical knockout in 2017.
Eight-weight world champion Pacquiao retired in 2021 to focus on his political career, but returned to the ring last July to fight WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, who retained the title after a draw.
Mayweather and Pacquiao first met in 2015 in what was dubbed the “Fight of the Century.”
Mayweather defeated Pacquiao via a wide unanimous decision in Las Vegas.

“Floyd and I gave the world the biggest fight in boxing history,” Pacquiao said.
“The fans have waited long enough. They deserve this rematch.
“I hope Floyd can endure a loss on his career record and always remember who gave him this loss.”
Mayweather said: “I’ve fought Manny once and it will be the same this time.”
