Despite the fact a fight between two boxers nearing 50 is unlikely to set the sporting world alight, the competitive aspect seems secondary to the product.<\/p>\n

“[The first fight] generated unbelievable sums of money. The gate itself, the tickets, generated $72m,” Bunce says. “[But] it was a dreadful fight. It was a stinker.”<\/p>\n

Mayweather, however, is a master promoter, Pacquiao is loved by millions \u2013 the build-up will be as much the offering as the fight night.<\/p>\n

Netflix has over 200m households globally and the bout will take place at the Sphere in Las Vegas which can hold 20,000.<\/p>\n

After what the UFC achieved visually with their event<\/a> there in 2024, it could be a completely new kind of viewing experience for a boxing fight.<\/p>\n

Netflix has offered a fresh approach to fights, blending a big-show American style broadcasting with big-name expert analysts and presenters and drawing in the entertaiment world.<\/p>\n

And these are two legends of the sport reviving one of boxing’s most famous rivalries of the last 50 years.<\/p>\n

The appetite, as proven by Paul and Netflix’s past success, is absolutely there. <\/p>\n

“You wll naturally watch it,” Bunce says and Conlan agrees.<\/p>\n

“It’s unwanted but then people will think, ‘it’s Pacquiao v Mayweather – of course I will watch’,” Conlan says.<\/p>\n

“I would love Pacquiao to win,” he adds. <\/p>\n

“If he did, they’ll probably do another one.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
