It appeared the bout would take place in Las Vegas’ Sphere on September 19 on Netflix.

But as the two teams rowed over the terms of the agreement, changes were made with the site instead moved to the MGM Grand.

Now however in another new alteration, the event will now headline the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

This will see it moved away from the host of their historic first clash in 2015 which took place at the MGM where it was originally being eyed.

As previously revealed by team Pacquiao, the bigger venue will now play as host on Friday September 25.

It appears that an agreement is finally over the line at last after so many discrepancies.

The bout was previously in doubt with Mayweather facing financial struggles.

He also threatened to breach the contract by declaring it would not count on their professional records, contrary to prior agreement.

But it appears the creases were ironed out at the last minute.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao – the same outcome?

It is unclear who will win with both fighters beyond the peak of their prime powers.

Pacquiao has been more active at a professional level than his long-term foe, having fought to a draw in a world title clash with Mario Barrios last year.

Meanwhile the American has only fought in exhibitions since his lucrative final meeting with Conor McGregor in 2017.

And Shane Mosley, who fought both during their peak years, is giving the edge to Pacquiao.

He explained: “We don’t know what Mayweather has in the tank, right? He hasn’t had a fight.

“He’s been sparring and stuff, but he hasn’t had a fight.

“Pacquiao’s been fighting real competition, so I give Pacquiao the edge in this fight.
