Legal Issues Affecting the Fight

A lawsuit involving CSI Entertainment has complicated plans. CSI claims Mayweather breached contracts tied to exclusive promotional rights for exhibition fights with Mike Tyson and the Pacquiao rematch. The dispute involves financial disclosures and other planned bouts, such as a proposed June 2026 fight in Greece against Mike Zambidis.

Although a judge ruled some financial details need not be disclosed, the legal battle adds uncertainty to the rematch’s schedule. CSI suggested a Mayweather vs. Tyson fight would occur first, but no clear timeline exists yet.
