Not only will there be live fights, but also starting July 13 Facebook will stream original programming with rebroadcasts of past fights with commentary from the boxers. Facebook did not say how many fights and original programming this deal includes.
These events will air on Facebook.com and through Facebook apps on a wide range of devices.
