Floyd Mayweather vs Mike Zambidis called off for this weekend
· Yahoo Sports
This weekend’s exhibition fight in Greence between Floyd Mayweather and Mike Zambidis appears to be officially off, as ESPN cites federal court records that indicate company CSI, who holds contracts with Mayweather for two other fights, filed for an emergency injunction in the Southern District of New York to prevent this particular event from happening.

“Because Plaintiffs’ Motion remains pending without a ruling, the Mayweather-Zambidis event will no longer proceed in Athens, Greece as planned on Saturday evening,” attorney Melissa Glass wrote in a letter to the court. “Plaintiffs’ commencement of this action and filing of the Motion, as well as their legal threats domestically and in Greece, have effectively stopped any promotion or distribution plans for the event and halted ticket sales.”
The fight could potentially be rescheduled depending on a final ruling of the injunction request, but at least for the time being things will be put on hold. 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.
