Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Pacquiao Close To a Done Deal?

[javelin_fangs]

Floyd won't take a fight unless he knows he has a real real good shot of winning. This is why I think he agreed to march. Floyd will be like a larger version of Marquez when he fights PAC. I will be rooting for pac but betting on Floyd.

Do you mean to imply that there are fights at 147 or below that Floyd doesn't have a good chance of winning?

If this is truely for march 13, then that means Bernard Hopkins/Jones 2 is on the same day according to Boxrec.








HOLY ****!

I guess they better reschedule cuz the whole worlds gonna be watchin Floyd and Pac if thats the case...

I was thinking that maybe it would be on the same HBO card.



Now that would be killer.

ESPN Dan R: Mayweather Agrees To Fight for Welterweight Title; March 13th or May 1st.

Link to come. Just got the alert.

So they have agreed to fight, just need to figure out which date.

The proposed date is March 13, although there is a chance it could move to May 1, sources said. Mayweather, according to a source close to him, is OK with either date.

The site for Pacquiao-Mayweather remains up in the air. There is interest from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to bring the fight to his new stadium. There is also interest from venues in Las Vegas, including the MGM Grand (which has hosted several Pacquiao and Mayweather fights), and the Superdome in New Orleans in hosting a fight many believe will break the all-time record for pay-per-view buys, which is the 2.44 million units sold for Mayweather's 2007 split decision victory against Oscar De La Hoya.

If Pacquiao-Mayweather isn't finalized, Arum has talked about matching Pacquiao with junior middleweight titlist Yuri Foreman, which would give Pacquiao an opportunity to win a title in an eighth division. Foreman defeated Daniel Santos to win a 154-pound belt on the Pacquiao-Cotto undercard.

Yeah. Always knew they were going to agree to fight, just a matter of time.

[Dorian]

Thank you, finally it looks like it will be confirmed and official. I can't wait for this one!

[Heru]

This will be a huge fight, does anyone think that it might be a bigger fight in May than it would in March?
