The contest, which was expected to be held on September 19 in Las Vegas, has now been postponed indefinitely because of issues linked to Mayweather’s side.Jas Mathur, the CEO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, shared that the team is already considering alternative plans. He explained that they are reviewing several possible opponents and opportunities instead of waiting without a clear timeline. According to Mathur, Pacquiao remains under contract, but the team wants to ensure that any replacement fight is the right one. He added that they are also making sure Pacquiao has enough time to prepare properly if the Mayweather bout is eventually confirmed.Reports indicate that the delay is connected to legal and financial disputes involving Mayweather’s camp. A lawsuit seeking millions of dollars over promotional rights has reportedly created uncertainty around the event. Because of these unresolved matters, organizers have decided to pause preparations until the situation becomes clear.Even though the exhibition has been delayed, Pacquiao’s camp believes there is still a strong chance that the fight will happen in the future. Mathur said the team remains positive because there are many reasons for both boxing legends to share the ring again. He pointed out that the original Mayweather-Pacquiao fight took five years to arrange, so delays are not unusual. While he admitted that no one can promise the bout will definitely happen, he stressed that the team is confident negotiations will eventually reach a successful outcome.The first meeting between Mayweather and Pacquiao took place in 2015 and became one of the biggest events in boxing history. It generated huge global interest and record-breaking revenue. Mayweather finished his professional career with an unbeaten 50-0 record. Pacquiao has also remained active in the sport and has repeatedly expressed his willingness to take part in major fights.For now, boxing fans will have to wait for further updates on the proposed rematch. Until the legal and financial issues are resolved, Pacquiao’s attention could shift to another high-profile opponent. His team hopes to keep him active while continuing discussions that could eventually lead to another chapter in one of boxing’s greatest rivalries.
