Mayweather's Return Fight in Doubt Again?
29 Mar
Summary
- Floyd Mayweather's highly anticipated rematch with Manny Pacquiao is uncertain.
- The venue for the fight, potentially The Sphere, remains unconfirmed.
- Mayweather clarified the bout will be an exhibition, not a professional boxing match.
The potential boxing rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, slated for mid-2026, is facing renewed doubts.
Initially promoted for The Sphere in Las Vegas, Mayweather has recently admitted that the venue is not yet officially booked. He stated that while The Sphere has been discussed, the exact location of the fight remains undecided.
Further complicating matters, Mayweather clarified that his return to the ring against Pacquiao will be an exhibition bout, not a professional boxing match. This comes after his last professional fight in 2017. 'Money' is also reportedly scheduled for exhibition matches against Mike Tyson and Mike Zambidis before a potential Pacquiao encounter.
Despite the uncertainties and past unfulfilled fight announcements, the event is being promoted by Netflix, which has secured broadcast rights. Over-promising and under-delivering could present legal issues for Mayweather, making the finalization of the Pacquiao rematch crucial.
