About the match
Eleven years on from the most-bought PPV in history, the first fight grossed half a billion and disappointed nearly everyone who paid for it. Now Floyd is 49 and Manny is 47, and they're doing it again — this time inside the Sphere, with Netflix paying handsomely to put it behind a subscription wall instead of a $99.95 paywall. The boxing on offer will be cautious; the visuals will not. Expect a Mayweather shoulder-roll exhibition that nominally counts on the record, a Pacquiao left hand that lands once or twice and travels nowhere, and a unanimous decision. The novelty is the venue. The fight is the price you pay to see it.
