Pacquiao VS Mayweather


News came out this morning that mayweather has agreed to terms to fight Pacquiao march 13. The fight is not finalized and the details may change, but Manny or Floyd are not gonna pass up this kind of money. Pacquiao is in the Philippines right right now and will be running for a congressional seat in May 2010 elections and official campaigning won't start before April. If this fight date becomes a reality Manny will be fighting his third fight in a matter of 10 months. One problem with this fight is where would it be held and will there be enough seats to accommodate all the fight fans who want to attend and see this super fight. Representatives of the Superdome in New Orleans and the new Cowboys Stadium in Dallas have expressed interest in hosting the fight, as has the MGM Grand hotel-casino in Las Vegas, where the fighters have had their biggest fights. There is also a proposal for a 30,000-seat temporary stadium on the Las Vegas Strip across from the Wynn resort. Anywhere it will be held its going to be sold out and the pay per view buys will break the record which was set by the Mayweather VS De La Hoya fight which had a little over 2.4 million P.P.V. buys. One thing is for sure both these boxers are regarded as the pound for pound the best fighters of today and this super fight will make one of the fighters go down in history as one of the all time greats
