A surprise that a boxing event can take place outside of Saudi Arabia, and Netflix can broadcast a live event outside of Vegas.

I realise many would probably not class it as a 'sport' in the truest sense of the word, but Netflix recently announced WWE Raw will be exclusive to the platform every week from 2025 in the USA, with all WWE programming available worldwide from whenever individual TV deals come to an end - in the UK that would be 2025 also. The deal is said to be worth $5bn.
I may be wrong but I believe this is Netflix's first deal for regular live [sports] programming.
