Boxing fans have got to be drooling uncontrollably right now. According to various reports, a mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will be set for March 13th. Mayweather has agreed to all the terms, which haven't been released yet, and Bob Arum is set to travel to Manila, Philippines to close the deal with Pacquiao.
News also came out today that Pacquiao will be running for political office in 2010, a move that played heavily in the dating of the fight. Locations for the bout are still up in the air, but Dallas, Las Vegas, and New Orleans are currently at the top of the list for possible venues.
I will continue to search for details and will update when I have more information.
The report is directly from Yahoo sports and writer Kevin Iole. Shout out to the BoxingScene.com for dropping the post as well.
Exactly, Mr F.
ReplyDeleteSounds a little soon to me.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Right. Mega fights like this don't happen quite so fast. I need more of a soap opera build up.
