Floyd Mayweather defeated Manny Pacquiao more than a decade ago in a fight that was already a decade too late.
If that doesn’t scream REMATCH! then I’m not sure what will.
“Earlier in my career, I spent weeks in Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao’s training camps in Las Vegas and the Philippines,” shares 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,” Spitzer added. “We’re thrilled to combine their storied rivalry with the immersive technology of Sphere to deliver a landmark sporting event to our members worldwide.”
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) was last seen sleepwalking his way through back-to-back fights against John Gotti III, part of his exhibition retirement tour that keep him out of trouble. As for Pacquiao (62-8-3), he recently ended his retirement to draw Mario Barrios last July in Las Vegas.
So … who’s hyped?
