Netflix To Livestream Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao Rematch on Sept. 19 From Sphere

Longtime rivals Floyd Money Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs) and Manny PacMan Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) will meet in a highly anticipated rematch on Saturday, Sept. 19, streaming live on Netflix from Sphere in Las Vegas - marking the first boxing match ever held at the groundbreaking venue.

Their first bout in May 2015 became the highest-grossing fight in boxing history, shattering pay-per-view and live-gate records as Mayweather earned a unanimous decision to claim the WBA, WBC, and WBO welterweight titles. Now, Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao will meet again on one of the world's most technologically advanced stages.

Earlier in my career, I spent weeks in Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao's training camps in Las Vegas and the Philippines, says Gabe Spitzer, Vice President of Sports at Netflix. It was undeniable that they were the two hardest workers in boxing, and their wins and accolades were a product of that. Bringing this rematch to Netflix is a massive full circle' moment. We're thrilled to combine their storied rivalry with the immersive technology of Sphere to deliver a landmark sporting event to our members worldwide.

The rematch is organized and produced by EverWonder Studio, Hidden Empire and Limitless X Holdings. The bout itself is being promoted by Manny Pacquiao Promotions, Mayweather Promotions alongside CSI Sports/Fight Sports.

The Mayweather vs. Pacquiao rematch is the latest chapter in Netflix's expansion into live combat sports. Netflix recently announced their first-ever mixed martial arts event headlined by the return of former UFC Champion and Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey against fellow women's MMA pioneer Gina Carano on May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

On April 11, boxing legend Tyson Fury will come out of retirement to face Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Netflix's first-ever live event broadcast from the United Kingdom.

This follows Anthony Joshua's knockout victory over Jake Paul in December, Terence Bud Crawford's unanimous decision over undisputed super middleweight champion Sa l Canelo lvarez - the century's most-watched men's championship fight - in September, and Taylor-Serrano 3 in July, which was the most-watched professional women's sporting event of 2025 in the US. 2024 was highlighted by Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson - which drew 108 million live global viewers to become the most-streamed sporting event in history - Netflix's first boxing match.
