I told everybody this fight would be in vegas........

You dont let a rookie like Texas Stadium or the Georgia Dome handle the biggest fight in 25 Years..You just dont.

Vegas knows what they are doing.

Speed kills!

Floyd Mayweather is a true technician, but he will not have a chance to adapt with bullets flying at him from Pacquiao. Cotto is a tough customer, but there was absolutely nothing he could do with Manny. If the date is truly set on the 3/13, Floyd will get first "L," if not, his W will come with a HUGE cost.

[QUOTE=Greatness;7020102]Sources: MGM Will be Site of Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will contest their megabout for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight (147 pounds) title on March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, according to sources with knowledge of the decision.

The MGM was chosen over the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium, whose owner, Jerry Jones, had offered $25 million to host the bout. The promoters of both fighters, however, had indicated that they felt the MGM's offer could surpass that of Jones.

The choice of the MGM Grand, whose deal specifications are unclear, is largely based in both fighter's familiarity with the location as well as their past success there.

News conferences already had been planned for Jan. 6, followed by one in Los Angeles two days later on Jan.8, the sources indicated.

Both Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 knockouts) and Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) were in agreement in principle with all of the fight deal's negotiation parameters, including a 50-50 financial split, competition at the 147-pound limit, eight-ounce gloves, and an
Olympic-style random drug test at the request of Mayweather's camp.

Mayweather, a 32-year-old who is being represented by Golden Boy Promotions' Richard Schaefer in the negotiations, is a five-time champion, with a 6-0 record at the MGM that includes two knockouts.

None of us like Mayweather but I gotta tell you this guy is really,really, good too,and people who says he ducks other fighters are nuts,he can punch,move,whatever anyway you want to fight, and if you think he's just a runner than you really don't know your boxing and your giving into your frustrations.Personally I'd like to see Pacman destroy him however in my logical mind I don't see it,another way perhaps, but don't be amazed if Mayweather hurts Pacman because he can knock you out when he turns up the jets,a very underrated power puncher but make no mistake he can kill you when he wants to.I have no earthly idea what will happen,I can tell you these guys are special,very special.
