Mayweather and Pacquiao’s lucrative sequel collapsed as disputes went on behind closed doors<\/p>\n
Mayweather and Pacquiao had been set to meet in September<\/a>, but the bout was subject to so many obstacles.<\/p>\n The American was threatened over breach of contract, having suggested he didn’t see the bout as a professional clash.<\/p>\n ‘Money’ also took financial advances from his signed agreement, which caused further chaos.<\/p>\n Outside of their agreement, Mayweather had also signed to face Mike Tyson<\/a> and greek kickboxing legend Mike Zambidis.<\/p>\n Read More In Boxing<\/p>\n But the latter was cancelled at the weekend<\/a>, and a clash with Tyson is up in the air, as legal battles are set to continue to play out.<\/p>\n And Mathur believes there was simply no way the slated fight plan would work, and insists the contracts with organisers have now got in the way.<\/p>\n He told Ring Magazine<\/a>: ” It\u2019s no longer going to happen in September and that\u2019s obviously due to all the lawsuits and legal issues going on at the moment. <\/p>\n “CSI [rematch organisers] put it all out in the open about 10 days ago. This is stuff that everybody was trying to hold together and resolve behind the scenes but a majority of it is out there.<\/p>\n \u201dPeople still can\u2019t figure out how it all transpired but all of these things are intertwined, like Floyd\u2019s fight against\u00a0Mike Tyson, Floyd\u2019s next fight into boxing, returning to pro boxing, the Manny Paquiao fight, obviously the one I have the most interest on, and of course the Greece fight. <\/p>\n “Everything is kind of intertwined together just based on how the contracts were done and how the deals were improperly structured.<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Mayweather has legal problems which are currently playing out before he can make a comebackCredit: Getty<\/p>\n \u201dSo the same fights were double sold. Even though Pacquiao was signed by CSI, both of these fights were Floyd\u2019s return to professional boxing. <\/p>\n “One had an opponent as Pacquiao listed, the other was primarily Pacquiao as an opponent but it could\u2019ve been somebody else.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the Manny side, we\u2019re running very smooth because there\u2019s not multiple chefs in the kitchen. <\/p>\n “But I knew from the other side, because Floyd was already dealing with a lot of problems…I knew that we were going to run into problems.\u201d<\/p>\n Mayweather’s legal troubles<\/p>\n Mayweather has been caught up in several worrying financial battles outside of the ring.<\/p>\n He was threatened by the IRS, whom suggested they would consider revoking his passport<\/a> over $7.3 million in unpaid taxes.<\/p>\n Watch Boxing on DAZN<\/p>\n *If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenue<\/p>\n Sign up to DAZN<\/a> to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.<\/p>\n Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate<\/a> from just \u00a324.99\/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.<\/p>\n Alternatively, DAZN Standard<\/a> is just \u00a315.99\/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.<\/p>\n![\"Floyd](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/crop-3240435.jpg\")
