Boxing Legends Mayweather and Pacquiao Set to Clash Again in Las Vegas

Date & Venue

• When: September 19
• Where: Sphere arena, Las Vegas

Broadcast

• Streaming live on Netflix – the first boxing event to debut in this high‑tech venue.

The Fighters

Both are past their prime yet remain household names. Their previous bout in 2015 was billed as historic but many felt it fell short of expectations, despite breaking pay‑per‑view records.

What’s Still Unknown

• Weight class – not yet set
• Fight duration – still undecided

This uncertainty fuels speculation about how the matchup will unfold.

Fighters’ Statements

• Mayweather: “I already fought and beat Manny once; this time will be the same result.”
• Pacquiao: Revealed he fought with a shoulder injury in 2015 to avoid postponement, admitting his usual offensive pressure was limited against Mayweather’s defense.

Stakes

• Mayweather: Can he maintain a perfect record?
• Pacquiao: Will he finally secure a win against the former champion?

Both have spent a decade away from competitive boxing—Mayweather in exhibitions, Pacquiao in politics and brief returns.

Netflix & the Sphere

• Streaming trend: Following Crawford vs. Álvarez and Fury’s comeback, Netflix is expanding into major sporting events.
• Sphere arena: Opened 2023, hosted a UFC event costing ~$20 million due to its advanced technology.

Will history repeat itself, or will a new chapter be written?
