Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman, billed as Welterweight Supremacy, was a boxing match for the WBA (Super) welterweight championship. The event took place on July 20, 2019 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The bout sold 500,000 pay-per-view (PPV) buys in the United States, earning an estimated $37.5 million in pay-per-view revenue.

After Thurman’s fight with Josesito López, he publicly said he wanted to fight Pacquiao next. It was initially thought that Errol Spence Jr. would be next on Pacquiao’s list when he came up the ring after Spence easily disposed of Mikey Garcia. It had also been rumored that Pacquiao would be facing Thurman next and Spence would instead have a unification bout with Shawn Porter. On May 11, 2019 it was announced that Pacquiao–Thurman would happen on July 20, 2019 and a few days after, MGM Grand Garden Arena announced that they would be hosting the fight.

Betting odds started in favor of Thurman but slowly went Pacquiao’s way as the fight drew closer. Throughout the promotion, Thurman had nice things to say about Pacquiao being a legend as a sign of respect and would follow it up with how he planned on finishing Pacquiao’s career.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Jessie Vargas, billed as The Legend/The Champ, was a boxing match contested on November 5, 2016, for the WBO and Lineal welterweight championship. The event took place at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On August 3, Pacquiao’s business manager confirmed that WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (27–1, 10 KO) would be the next opponent for Pacquiao on November 5, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Pacquiao made the confirmation after a two-hour meeting with Top Rank’s Bob Arum and Canadian adviser Michael Koncz held in Manila on August 7, that he agreed to fight Vargas. “Yes, the fight is on. I have agreed to a Nov. 5 fight with reigning WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas. Boxing is my passion. I miss what I’d been doing inside the gym and atop the ring. My entire training camp will be held here in the Philippines so I can attend to my legislative works. This is my campaign promise and I’m determined to keep it,” Pacquiao said in a statement. He also explained that he has to fight again to earn a living: “Boxing is my main source of income. I can’t rely on my salary as public official. I’m helping the family of my wife and my own family, as well. Many people also come to me to ask for help and I just couldn’t ignore them.”

In a press conference on September 8 held in Los Angeles, California, it was announced by Bob Arum that the fight would be self-distributed by Top Rank PPV. He also revealed that his company would continue to produce and distribute future pay-per-view events without the involvement of HBO.

As for the commentating panel, Arum stressed that he planned on putting a star-studded announcing team together, which would rival the work of HBO’s Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman. Arum confided that he was in talks with major boxing analysts, but he declined to name one as he had not worked out any official deals yet. “I think the commentating team is going to blow everybody’s socks off,” he vowed. According to Arum, Top Rank’s initial plans had received a good feedback from its partners and television companies, which gave him a hindsight that they could pull it off. “They’re all very, very receptive to getting this kind of programming. But right now, this looks like the most likely scenario,” Arum stated.

Pacquiao was guaranteed $4 million plus a percentage of the revenue of the fight while Vargas was guaranteed $2.5 million.[10]
