Pacquiao and Mayweather Confirm Rematch

- Their first bout on May 2, 2015, remains the highest-grossing fight in history, generating over $600 million in total revenue and a record 4.4 million pay-per-view buys. - Mayweather won the 2015 "Fight of the Century" by unanimous decision, with two judges scoring it 116–112 and one 118–110, in a match that was widely considered underwhelming by fans and critics. - Floyd Mayweather, now 49, has a perfect professional record of 50 wins and 0 losses and officially retired in 2017 after his victory over Conor McGregor. - Manny Pacquiao, the only eight-division world champion in boxing history, has been more active, fighting several times since the first match and serving as a senator in the Philippines from 2016 to 2022. - The Sphere is a $2.3 billion venue with a capacity of approximately 18,600, featuring a 16K resolution interior screen and a spatial audio system with over 160,000 speakers. - Unlike the pay-per-view model of the first fight which cost around $100, the rematch is slated to stream globally on Netflix at no extra cost to subscribers. - Pacquiao's camp has proposed the rematch be a 10 or 12-round professional bout at 147 pounds using 8-ounce gloves, with each fighter expected to earn a purse exceeding $50 million.
