Huge upside is possible for Pacquiao Mayweather 2 Sphere record breaking potential in the big fight in September.
A tiny few have criticized it but the vast majority want to see it as the numbers around the world on all platforms are huge so far.
On all digital media platforms we can see at least.
We and most think the event can shatter numbers for Netflix and maybe do other records as well.
Here’s why we think that is:
- It will be the first professional boxing match ever held at the futuristic Sphere venue.
- The 2015 original fight still holds the all-time boxing records: 4.6 million PPV buys and $72.2 million live gate.
- This rematch is projected to shatter those numbers, with some estimates suggesting it could exceed $500 million in total revenue.
- Streaming on Netflix (included for subscribers) could push global viewership beyond the 108 million record set by Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
- The Sphere’s immersive 360-degree visuals and sound could make it the most technologically spectacular boxing event ever.
- Ringside and VIP ticket prices are expected to smash the 2015 record (some front-row packages already rumored over $100,000).
- Mayweather (50-0) is risking his perfect record for the first time in a professional bout since 2017.
- Pacquiao, now 47, sees this as his chance for redemption after the controversial 2015 loss.
- The fight will combine nostalgia, massive star power, and the Sphere’s wow factor — creating unprecedented hype.
- If it delivers, it has strong potential to become the highest-grossing combat sports event in history, surpassing even the biggest UFC and boxing gates.
It is on and is going to be a huge event.
Of course Mayweather Pacman 2 is real.
Expect more in the weeks ahead in the build-up in a huge year for boxing.
