Almost double the accuracy and punches landed of Pacquiao from their first fight in 2015.

Since then Mayweather has fought one Conor McGregor and Pacquiao has recently gotten back to winning ways with a stoppage win over Lucas Matthysse.

While both boxers are certainly not in their primes at this stage, there should be enough intrigue and star power in their names to ensure people will still shell out to buy the fight.

Although nowhere near to the level they did back in 2015.
