  • Reports indicate Netflix is exploring a deal to stage or broadcast the event as part of its live combat sports push.
  • The IBA Pro Series offered to sanction an IBA world title if the fight goes ahead, a proposal floated days after Pacquiao was named an IBA vice president.
  • Pacquiao’s camp received a contract for a proposed January 24 Las Vegas exhibition with Vasiliy Lomachenko, though terms remain apart and Pacquiao labels the Mayweather bout a “real fight.”
  • Amir Khan publicly called for a bout with Pacquiao, and Mayweather’s announced exhibition with Mike Tyson has been noted by Pacquiao as separate from these rematch talks.
