Netflix Reportedly Interested in Mayweather-Pacquiao and Mayweather-Garcia Fights
Netflix is reportedly seriously interested in a two-fight deal that would see Floyd Mayweather compete against Manny Pacquiao and Ryan Garcia. The proposed matchups are targeted for 2027 and 2028. Both fights are expected to be full professional bouts rather than exhibitions.
The current possibility has Manny Pacquiao facing Floyd Mayweather in May 2027 or slightly later, with Ryan Garcia potentially following in September 2027 or early 2028.
If finalized, both proposed Netflix fights are expected to count as professional contests, which would put Mayweather’s undefeated 50-0 record at stake. Garcia, the reigning WBC welterweight champion, demanded that Mayweather put his unbeaten record on the line after Mayweather sounded him out.
Speaking on the PBD Podcast, Mayweather indicated that his exhibition with Mike Tyson would precede the professional Pacquiao rematch, which remains targeted for 2027. Mayweather told Salita Promotions that Mike Zambidis was next, leaving another fight to resolve before facing Pacquiao.
The proposed Pacquiao rematch has been delayed amid litigation surrounding Mayweather’s existing fight commitments.
Mayweather has claimed he is guaranteed $110 million for the Pacquiao rematch, although those financial terms have not been independently confirmed. Mayweather could challenge Bernard Hopkins’ record as the oldest world champion if he wins another title after turning 50.
