Mayweather and Pacquiao rematch delayed with no new date set
Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao's much-awaited rematch has been postponed indefinitely, according to a statement from Pacquiao’s camp. The delay comes after legal and financial disputes involving an events company and the Mayweather camp. The original 2015 fight between the two boxing legends was a massive pay-per-view success. The postponement has left fans uncertain about when, or if, the rematch will happen.
Match highlights
- The rematch was postponed due to federal lawsuits, scheduling conflicts, and financial issues surrounding Mayweather's camp.
- An events company, CSI, sued Mayweather last week to recover at least $4.65 million paid for exclusive rights to promote the rematch and an exhibition with Mike Tyson.
- The earliest possible date for a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is now early 2027, according to Pacquiao's team.
- If Mayweather and CSI settle their disputes, promoters may reschedule an exhibition between Mayweather and Mike Tyson, tentatively targeting September 12.
- Mayweather was also scheduled to fight Greek kickboxing star Mike Zambidis in Athens, but that event has been called off.
