In a nutshell

• Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch set for September 19, 2026 at Sphere Las Vegas.
• Streaming live globally on Netflix at no extra cost.
• Marks Mayweather’s return from retirement and Pacquiao’s bid to hand him his first loss.

Netflix has announced that two of boxing’s greatest icons, Floyd “Money” Mayweather (50‑0, 27 KOs) and Manny “Pac‑Man” Pacquiao (62‑8‑3, 39 KOs), are set to collide once again in a professional rematch on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The fight will take place at the cutting‑edge Sphere in Las Vegas, marking the first‑ever boxing event held at the venue.

In a groundbreaking move, the bout will stream live globally on Netflix to its 325+ million subscribers at no additional cost.

A Rivalry Renewed

The rematch comes more than a decade after their legendary 2015 showdown, dubbed the “Fight of the Century,” which shattered records with 4.6 million pay‑per‑view buys and a $72 million live gate at MGM Grand. That event remains the richest in boxing history, generating over $600 million in global revenue.

Now, Mayweather officially comes out of retirement under a multi‑fight partnership with CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS, while Pacquiao looks to hand him the first loss of his career.

• Pacquiao: “The fans have waited long enough—they deserve this rematch, and it will be even bigger now that it will be streamed live globally on Netflix. I want Floyd to live with the one loss on his professional record.”
• Mayweather: “I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result.”

Netflix’s Biggest Boxing Event Yet

The fight is being produced by EverWonder Studio, Hidden Empire, and Limitless X Holdings, with promotion led by Manny Pacquiao Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, in partnership with CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS.

Netflix Vice President of Sports Gabe Spitzer called the event a “full‑circle moment,” highlighting the immersive technology of Sphere that will deliver a viewing experience unlike any other.

This bout follows Netflix’s record‑breaking ventures into boxing, including:

• Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson – 108 million live viewers, most‑streamed sporting event in history
• Taylor vs. Serrano 3 – most‑watched professional women’s sporting event in the US (2025)
• Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford – 41.4 million viewers, century’s most‑watched men’s championship fight
