Floyd Mayweather's team had agreed to a September date for the rematch, but Mayweather himself has denied it, and the original venue, The Sphere, is no longer available due to a concert.
The situation has led to speculation that Mayweather is avoiding the fight, with Pacquiao's camp already preparing for a potential backup plan.
