Their first bout in May 2015 became the highest-grossing fight in boxing history, shattering pay-per-view and live-gate records as Mayweather earned a unanimous decision to claim the WBA, WBC, and WBO welterweight titles.

Now, Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao will meet again in a matchup that blends drama, controversy, and boxing history, this time on one of the world’s most technologically advanced stages. 

Mayweather retired in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record after winning 15 major world championships across five weight classes, from super featherweight to light middleweight. The re-match will be his first professional fight since defeating Conor McGregor.

The Mayweather vs Pacquiao re-match is continuation of Netflix's expansion into live combat sports. The streaming giants streamed Anthony Joshua’s knockout victory over Jake Paul in December and Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson in 2024.
