Mayweather, Pacquiao stopped returning calls after losing Sphere date

Floyd Mayweather was supposed to rematch Manny Pacquiao on Sept. 19 at Sphere in Las Vegas.

That wasn’t promoter hyperbole or one of those “sources have indicated” tweets, it was actually announced by Netflix back in February. But hall of fame rock band Eagles recently booked Sept. 19 at Sphere as part of its “Sin City” residency, confirming this report that May-Pac 2 was in jeopardy.

“ESPN has reached out to representatives for Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr and Netflix over the past several weeks for an update on the status of the fight but have yet to hear from any of the parties regarding a venue change or if the fight would still take place as a professional boxing match,” Andreas Hale wrote for ESPN.
