A look at the top 10 reasons Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 will break records ahead of one of the biggest fights in history.
The fight is a mega event live on Netflix this September.
A fight for the ages without doubt.
Here’s why in our view it breaks some records this year in a huge event in all of worldwide sport in September:
- First rematch of the 2015 “Fight of the Century,” which set PPV records with 4.6 million U.S. buys and $72 million live gate.
- First professional boxing match ever at The Sphere, a groundbreaking immersive venue expected to boost production and appeal.
- Streams free to Netflix’s global subscribers (over 325 million households), eliminating PPV barriers that capped 2015 reach.
- Netflix’s Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson (2024) drew 108 million global live viewers—the most-streamed sporting event ever.
- Netflix boxing events like Crawford vs. Canelo (2025) hit 41 million viewers (top men’s championship this century).
- Projections from executive producer Jas Mathur: expected to become Netflix’s most-watched sporting event ever, surpassing Tyson-Paul’s 108 million.
- Reunites legends Floyd Mayweather (50-0) and Manny Pacquiao (62-8-3) after 11+ years, with Mayweather’s perfect record on the line in a sanctioned pro fight.
- Global access via Netflix (no extra cost, worldwide streaming) contrasts with 2015’s regional PPV limits.
- Builds on Netflix’s live sports momentum, where prior boxing streams shattered viewership benchmarks.
- Positions as potentially the most-viewed event in Netflix history, leveraging the fighters’ iconic status and massive platform reach.
The fight is one some think Mayweather will coast but not us — you can’t write Pacman off.
In boxing, sport or in anything in life.
He has proven it time and time again and continues to every day.
A remarkable boxer and man.
Little trash talk between Mayweather and Pacquiao yet — expect some friendly remarks in the weeks and months ahead of the big rematch though.
