Mike Coppinger reported on Friday that Mayweather and Pacquiao have now agreed to terms on an amended deal for a professional fight planned for September 25 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with Netflix expected to carry the event.

The update moves the fight away from the previously discussed September 19 date and removes The Sphere from the plans after concerns about the economics of holding the event there.

Coppinger also quoted Pacquiao Promotions CEO Jas Mathur, who reportedly said the switch from The Sphere came because the venue was not financially viable compared to a traditional arena setup in Las Vegas.

That detail gave the story a new angle after Pugmire’s report sparked a huge response across boxing social media on Thursday. Coppinger’s follow-up aimed to push the reporting further by confirming revised terms, a new date and the business reasons behind the venue change.

Mayweather, 49, retired with a 50-0 record after defeating Pacquiao in their highly anticipated 2015 fight, one of the biggest pay-per-view events in boxing history. Pacquiao returned to professional boxing earlier this year following his exhibition and continued to book another major event against his longtime rival.

Neither side has yet officially announced the rematch, but reporting from Thursday and Friday suggests that negotiations have moved much closer to completion than many initially expected.

Netflix’s involvement also makes the rematch more commercially attractive, giving both fighters a wider streaming platform than traditional pay-per-view. The rematch is expected to be one of Netflix’s biggest combat sports events this year.
