The fact he said it was an exhibition has seen him taken apart properly now.
He is being wiped out completely not just by people in America but those around the world as well.
Some reports claim the fight may not even go ahead at all in any format but that remains to be seen.
Either way, Mayweather is toast now in boxing and with fans due to:
- He allegedly signed multiple contracts for a professional fight, then publicly called it an exhibition.
- Team Pacquiao has made multiple statements to the contrary of Mayweather’s recent interview.
- Pacquiao’s CEO stated Mayweather is in breach of contract for trying to alter the signed terms.
- Manny Pacquiao himself said in the beginning said he signed for a real fight.
- The event was officially announced by Netflix as a professional rematch — his comments contradict that.
- He is in trouble with all concerned now. More than he can even imagine. Fans were expecting a big rematch shortly.
- It makes him look like he’s protecting his 50-0 record instead of fighting a legitimate bout. That’s what fans see it as.
- Fans and media see it as backing out of a real competitive fight after building hype.
- It damages trust with Netflix, The Sphere, and promoters who promoted it as a pro fight.
- Creates unnecessary chaos and uncertainty just weeks after the fight was announced.
- He did this without even having a professional press conference to announce the fight in the beginning anyway as is standard business practice for such an event.
- Pacquiao’s allegedly team has demanded written confirmation that he will honor the pro fight contract.
- It reinforces the perception to some boxing fans that Mayweather prioritizes money and record protection over giving fans a real fight.
- It also makes the first fight between the two years ago sit even worse with fans now.
Either Mayweather is done now.
If the fight doesn’t happen as a proper boxing rematch both Netflix and boxing fans and the sport are through with him.
Expect more on this to develop today and over the weekend as many headlines suggest Pacman’s team says the fight is signed as a professional boxing match still for the rematch.
