Floyd Mayweather's exhibition fight against Mike Zambidis canceled

This Saturday's exhibition between Floyd Mayweather and Mike Zambidis in Athens has been called off after a lawsuit from CSI Sports Events over his Tyson and Pacquiao contracts derailed the fight just days before it was set to happen.

Floyd’s weekend exhibition is officially off.

There is plenty of litigation to be had in this case, however, as promoters for this Zambidis event claim significant financial harm over money they’ve already invested in this event and that much of it will not be recoverable. So while it remains to be seen where this all goes from here, what we do know is that Floyd won’t be making an appearance in the ring, as DAZN has also dropped the event from its schedule.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s June 27 exhibition bout against Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis has been called off just 48 hours before the pair were set to fight.
