Netflix has officially announced that boxing icons Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will meet in a sanctioned professional rematch on September 19, 2026. This historic event marks the first-ever boxing match at Las Vegas’s The Sphere and will stream live globally on Netflix.
The 2015 “Fight of the Century” remains the most lucrative in history, generating a staggering 4.6 million PPV buys and over $600 million in revenue. This rematch aims to settle unfinished business as Mayweather, now 49, ends a nine-year professional retirement to defend his perfect 50-0 record. Pacquiao, 47, looks to avenge his 2015 loss after recently returning to form with a majority draw against Mario Barrios in July 2025.
While Mayweather remains sharp through high-profile exhibitions—including an April 2026 bout with Mike Tyson—this sanctioned clash carries true stakes. By removing the pay-per-view barrier, Netflix is set to shatter streaming records with this ultimate nostalgia-fueled showdown.
