Story Highlights
Boxing legends Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have agreed to exhibition fight this spring. The mega-fight will be delivered by CSI SPORTS/FIGHT SPORTS on a date and a location to be determined. CSI SPORTS and FIGHT SPORTS co-founders, brothers Richard and Craig Miele, will produce the multi-platform, global broadcast. The company says it will soon announce a multi-event global media streaming and broadcast partnership that will launch with this event.
Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather are two of the most compelling names and personalities with lasting legacies in all of sports. They are 21st century icons, say Richard and Craig Miele. Tyson vs. Mayweather will break every broadcast, streaming and economic record set by Mike Tyson in 2024. We are planning a robust promotional campaign complete with weekly premium storytelling and worldwide marketing reach. The event itself will be in a world-class venue and be presented to a global audience with new in-ring technology elements that will reshape how boxing is presented, and scoring is achieved for years to come.
Tyson, who retired from professional boxing with 50 wins, 44 by knockout, is one of the world's most recognized figures and, perhaps, one of the most beloved in all of sports. Mayweather is the highest grossing professional boxer (and one of the highest grossing athletes) in history, having remained a prominent figure in the sport even after his official retirement with his unmatched and unprecedented record of 50 wins, no losses.
In 2026, CSI SPORTS says it will debut new technology that will revolutionize and forever enhance the sport and the viewing experience for audiences worldwide. In addition, CSI SPORTS recently announced that renowned sports television executives John Skipper (ESPN, DAZN, Meadowlark Media), Mark Taffet (HBO PPV), Brian Robinson (American Idol Productions) and Chris DeBlasio (Showtime Networks) joined its leadership team.
Richard and Craig Miele founded CSI SPORTS in 1997 and have grown from creating, producing and distributing live championship boxing events in the U.S., into a global multimedia business controlling rights to global boxing events including some of the highest grossing pay-per-view events of all time. In 2012, CSI SPORTS launched FIGHT SPORTS, a 24/7 sports network worldwide. CSI SPORTS controls global rights to HBO World Championship Boxing events and is also the exclusive owner of the iconic USA Tuesday Night Fights series, acquired from Comcast/NBC Universal and including thousands of hours of content featuring boxing legends Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya, and many more.
The FIGHT SPORTS network reaches over 190 countries with U.S. distribution through the FIGHT SPORTS branded block in over 80M households. The FIGHT SPORTS linear channel currently reaches 60+ countries globally. Over the past two decades, CSI SPORTS' rights to the biggest pay-per-view events in history including Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, Mayweather vs. De La Hoya, Tyson vs. Lewis, and many others that have generated billions of dollars in PPV revenue.
