Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao 2 loses Sphere date due to Eagles concert, putting rematch further in doubt

The Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao 2 rematch won’t be held as initially scheduled this fall after all.

Mayweather and Pacquiao were initially scheduled for their rematch at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Sept. 19, and the fight was going to be broadcast by Netflix. But after several issues have come up, the Sphere has now been booked for another event.

The venue has now booked a pair of “Eagles” concerts that weekend, part of the band’s residence at the Sphere. Neither sides, nor Netflix, commented to ESPN about the status of the fight after the band’s concerts were booked.

It’s unclear if the Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch will still be held on Sept. 19, just at a different venue, or still at the Sphere on a different date. But at least for now, Sept. 19 at the Sphere is officially off the table.

There have been several roadblocks that have come up since Netflix first announced this fight in February, which the streaming giant called a “one-in-a-generation event” that Mayweather was “officially coming out of retirement” for. But in March, Mayweather said that both the fight wasn’t locked in at the Sphere and that it . He insisted instead that it would be an exhibition, which wouldn’t threaten his undefeated 50-0 record.
