Overview
- Mayweather, speaking Saturday to Vegas Sports Today, said the Sept. 19 Pacquiao meeting will be an exhibition and that the Las Vegas Sphere is not confirmed.
- His comments clash with February announcements that billed a sanctioned rematch at the Sphere to stream globally on Netflix.
- Pacquiao’s camp has said he will only accept a fully sanctioned professional fight, setting up a key dispute over the bout’s terms.
- The event’s location and broadcast plan remain unresolved, and Netflix did not respond to requests for comment reported by Reuters.
- Mayweather also promoted exhibitions with Mike Tyson and kickboxer Mike Zambidis, a slate that points away from record‑counting bouts and could reshape expectations for the rematch.
