Mayweather fight called off

MANILA, Philippines — Former multi-weight world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather’s planned exhibition against Greek kickboxing star Mike Zambidis in Athens on Saturday is off, according to federal court filings obtained by ESPN.

The pay-per-view event was to be held at the Telekon Center at the OAKA Olympic Complex in Athens.

Events company CSI, which is suing Mayweather in connection with planned bouts against Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao, sought an injunction in the Southern District Court of New York to prevent the Zambidis exhibition.

The development also put in serious jeopardy the planned rematch between Mayweather and Pacquiao that has been penciled on Sept. 25 in Las Vegas.
