been confirmed after months of negotiations.The two biggest names in
boxing have been locked in prolonged talks, raising further doubts
that the super-fight could fall through at any time.
Both men have finalized terms for the clash at the MGM Grand in Las
Vegas on May 2nd.
Additional stumbling blocks have been overcomed in recent weeks, with
both camps reaching an agreement on drug testing and both men able to
wear their own gloves - no rematch clause has been included.
The 37-year-old American, Mayweather nicknamed 'money' is unbeaten in
47 fights with 26 knockouts, but Pacquiao is considered the biggest
threat to his status as the best pound-for-pound fighteron the
planet.
The showdown in Vegas is projected to be the most lucrative in boxing
history. Mayweather is expected to have a 60-40 split advantage on
revenues, earning a minimum of $120 million and Pacquiao at least $80
million.
