Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will meet in a long-awaited rematch of the highest-grossing clash in boxing history this September at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Netflix announced Monday.
The bout between two of boxing's biggest names -- who famously fought a blockbuster clash in 2015, and are now both in their late forties -- comes days after Mayweather announced he is coming out of retirement.
