Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were scheduled to have a boxing match on September 19, and they were supposed to fight at The Sphere in Las, Vegas, live on Netflix. But, is that truly the case?
Talks for this fight seemed to be all good. Everything looked to be a-go. That was until Floyd made mention of it being an “Exhibition Bout”. Suddenly, Manny and his team switched tunes and things started to get quiet. While there hasn’t been any update on if the fight is even taking place anymore, Boxing insider Andreas Hale noted today that The Sphere, which was supposed to play host to the fight on September 19, now is booked on that same date for the Eagles concert.
Well, this is interesting…

This immediately raised eyebrows on if the fight has been canceled, and promoted Andreas to reach out about said fight. Andreas notes that he reached out to both Mayweather and Pacquiao’s teams, as well as Netflix, to no avail.
EVERYONE involved in Mayweather-Pacquiao 2 has gone radio silent for the past few weeks. I've reached out to Netflix, Mayweather and Pacquiao's teams and have heard nothing about the status of the fight.
Ever since Mayweather said it was an exhibition, things have fallen apart https://t.co/hRb0CS77Xg

Now, more issues come into play if the fight itself doesn’t take place at all. Andreas Hale pointed out that multiple production companies, as well at Netflix being attached to this fight, could cause some chaos.
We've all heard about Mayweather's financial and legal issues, but I'm very curious how ugly this gets legally if the fight doesn't materialize. Three production companies were attached to the event. Not to mention Netflix's involvement and advances being paid.

If anyone makes a statement from either camp or Netflix themselves, we will provide updates.
