Floyd Mayweather Jr. Says Pacquiao Rematch Isn’t Set Yet
Former champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. said Saturday that his proposed September 19 matchup with Manny Pacquiao may not occur at Sphere as initially discussed. He also confirmed the event would proceed as an exhibition rather than a sanctioned boxing contest. Mayweather spoke with reporters during an autograph signing at an MCM store inside Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. The undefeated boxer acknowledged uncertainty surrounding the venue and the evolving structure of the event. “We don’t know exactly where the fight is going to be at,” Mayweather said. “We don’t know the location of the fight. The Sphere is one of the places they talked about. But we don’t know if it’s going to be there.” “As of right now, we don’t know where the fight is gonna be. The Sphere is one of the places they talked about, so we don’t know if it’s 100%.” Floyd Mayweather on possibly fighting Manny Pacquiao at the spear in September. : @MikeDixon_VST #Boxing pic.twitter.com/UlNQuMfPwu — Vegas Sports Today (@VegasSportsTD) March 28, 2026 He added that the nature of the matchup has also changed. “And this is not actually a fight,” Mayweather said. “It’s an exhibition.” Earlier reports described the bout as a sanctioned rematch between two of boxing’s most recognizable champions. The event was expected to stream on Netflix, reflecting the growing interest among digital platforms in live sports programming. Floyd Mayweather Jr. & Manny Pacquiao Rematch With Netflix Uncertain Mayweather and Pacquiao first met in a highly anticipated contest in 2015 at MGM Grand Garden Arena. The event drew worldwide attention and generated one of the largest gates in boxing history. More than 16,000 spectators attended, producing roughly $72 million in ticket sales. Mayweather won the bout by unanimous decision, preserving a professional record of 50 victories with 27 knockouts. Pacquiao, an eight-division champion, entered that fight with one of the sport’s most accomplished résumés. Now nearing 50, Mayweather said exhibition events allow him to remain active while avoiding the strain of traditional competition. “I’m still extremely healthy,” he said. “I work out every day.” Mayweather added that several exhibition appearances remain under discussion. These events, he suggested, offer a chance to entertain audiences while continuing his association with the sport. “If I’m already training every day and spending time with my family,” Mayweather said, “why not go out and entertain people?” For Mayweather, the exhibitions represent a later chapter in a career that helped shape modern boxing’s commercial landscape.

Ayesha Curry Clarifies Comments About Athletes Not Being Her Type
Ayesha Curry is addressing a resurfaced comment about her husband, Stephen Curry, saying her earlier remarks have been widely misunderstood. During a recent appearance on a podcast hosted by Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, Curry revisited the idea that athletes were not her “type.” She said the statement, made years earlier, lacked context and did not reflect her true feelings. “I feel like this is something that gets misconstrued publicly,” Curry said. “It’s not that you didn’t have game.” Curry added that her perspective at the time was shaped by her age and limited experience. She noted she was just 14 and not allowed to date. Reframing a Viral Narrative Curry said the original comment stemmed from teenage assumptions rather than genuine preference. She explained that she once held stereotypical views about athletes, influenced by media portrayals and school culture. “I had very textbook, maybe, misconceptions,” she said, describing how she associated athletes with common “jock” stereotypes. She also acknowledged that her earlier phrasing came across poorly in hindsight. “But did I think you were cute? Absolutely,” she told her husband during the discussion, calling the past remark “very disrespectful” and “rude.” Curry emphasized that her teenage mindset included a written list of relationship preferences. That list included a “no athletes” rule, which she now views as misguided. Insecurity, Not Disinterest Curry clarified that the deeper issue was not a lack of attraction, but insecurity. She said she doubted whether Stephen Curry would be interested in her. “People for some reason think that in the past I’ve said that he wasn’t my type,” she said. “What I was saying was, I didn’t think I was his type.” She described her younger self as a “theater nerd” who felt out of place around more socially prominent peers. That perception led her to assume their connection would remain platonic. “I kind of sold myself short,” Curry said, explaining she believed he might only see her as a friend. The couple, now married with children, met as teenagers and later reconnected as adults. Stephen Curry recalled pursuing her consistently once their relationship began to shift. Curry said she is sharing the clarification now to correct lingering misconceptions. She noted that public narratives often simplify personal stories, especially when comments resurface years later.
