The Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao<\/a> rematch promotional run is not going smoothly following the official announcement.<\/p>\n

Mayweather and Pacquiao faced off back in 2015, where \u2018TBE\u2019 claimed a legendary decision win over the Filipino phenomenon before hanging up the gloves two years later.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pac Man\u2019 revealed that he had suffered a severe right rotator cuff tear before the fight and has later said opting not to postpone the clash was the biggest regret of his career<\/a>. He had surgery on his shoulder shortly after the fight but was unable to secure a rematch, that was until earlier this year, with a shock second encounter announced for September \u2013 undoubtedly one of the biggest events of the 2026 boxing calendar despite disapproval from many fans.<\/p>\n

However, in recent days the fight<\/a> has been thrown into doubt after Mayweather said that the venue was not finalised and that it would be an exhibition, not a pro contest as announced. Pacquiao\u2019s team say he is in breach of contract for that, as well as other reasons.<\/p>\n

Now, in an interview with FightHype<\/a>, Shane Mosley, who lost to Mayweather in 2010 and Pacquiao the year after, declared that he has heard rumours that Pacquiao\u2019s shoulder is hindering him once again.<\/p>\n

\u201cFloyd\u2019s not the same Floyd that he was \u2026 but Manny also has some complications. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s his shoulder, in his sparring or something like that. There\u2019s stuff going on with him too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m seeing that he [Pacquiao] is having complications with his shoulder and stuff, so I don\u2019t think that he will be able to train the same way that he did to get ready for the [Mario] Barrios fight. So, that could be something.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore [hearing of the shoulder injury] I was saying Pacquiao [will win], now I am saying that I don\u2019t really know because I don\u2019t know what Pacquiao can do. I don\u2019t know if he can still run or spar, he can\u2019t do what he used to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether those whispers are true or not, with Pacquiao claiming to be fighting fit ahead of what is, until official word says otherwise, a professional rematch with Mayweather, scheduled for Saturday, September 19, live on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao rematch promotional run is not going smoothly following the official announcement.
