Floyd Mayweather unsure if Manny Pacquiao fight will take place at the Sphere

Mayweather clarified the situation when asked about the venue of his upcoming fight vs. Pacquiao.

“As of right now, we don’t know exactly where the fight is going to be at. We don’t know the location of the fight.

“The Sphere is one of the places that they talked about. So, we don’t know if it’s a hundred percent going to be there,” Mayweather said.

The comment keeps the door open while confirming that discussions are still ongoing.

It also highlights how the event is still in its planning stages.

It also reflects Mayweather’s recent approach to boxing appearances. That distinction is what defines the potential rematch.
