    Pro bout. On Netflix in September.

    My question is could Mayweather win a belt at 147 off the likes of Crocker?

    Surely Pacman wins this one. He was competitive with Barrios recently.

    So is this the “you ain’t seen nothing yet” mega news that all these boxing personalities in the media were hinting at?

    I guess the rumours around Floyd having serious financial issues are true.

    That would only make sense if we think mayweather wouldnt be also

    I think he would beat Barrios who was a weak champion , fairly rubbish

    Boxing going on Netflix, an 'entertainment' service was never going to give us real fights.

    Does anybody actually want to see this fight? If it's free on netlflix people will watch but I highly doubt it will get people buying subs

    Whether you will watch the fight or not, this will be massive and do huge numbers for netflix. I'm looking forward to it.

    You have to respect Netflix, they are showing no respect or care to the sport of boxing and don't give a Fu*k about the sport, they just want massive fights and big numbers, fair play.

    Just waiting for Amir Khan to start calling out Floyd like he used to, all day, every day.

    I personally found Benn doing Hearn dirty more shocking, PacMan is "active" and Mayweather allegedly has money issues.

    Crazy to see Mayweather–Pacquiao 2 actually getting made official. Even crazier is the why behind it: Floyd’s been out here living like “Money” is infinite, and there’ve been enough stories about loans/lawsuits and cash burn to suggest the liquid isn’t what it used to be. This won’t be the last time we see him fight either.

    Sad really. I’ve got no problem with exhibitions, but Floyd basically completed boxing walking away 50–0, and now you’re inviting the inevitable moment where age catches up and someone puts a dent in the legacy, maybe even brutally. There’s clearly a market for it, but I just hope it doesn’t spiral into him trying to chase an actual belt against a hungry young gun afterwards.

    Most people have Netflix.

    It’s one thing not spending £50 to watch. But when it’s free, why not.

    It will do huge numbers
