The highly anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will take place in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and the negotiations that apparently saved it likely took place somewhere more discreet.

The two boxers have agreed to a revised deal for a professional fight Sept. 25 that will be livestreamed by Netflix, according to The Ring’s Mike Coppinger, who cited Manny Pacquiao Promotions CEO Jas Mathur as its source.

In February, Netflix issued a statement announcing Mayweather, 49, and Pacquiao, 47, would fight at the Sphere Sept. 19 in Las Vegas. Mayweather later said the fight would be an exhibition, fueling speculation that the fight would fall through.

But now it appears the bout is back on, and as a professional fight. That means Mayweather will put his 50-0 record on the line when he faces Pacquiao (62-8-3) in their rematch.

On May 2, 2015, Mayweather beat Pacquiao by unanimous decision in their welterweight fight.
