The road to Floyd Mayweather’s next—and perhaps final—fight has officially begun. The pound-for-pound king—fresh from a $240 million take following a 12-round win over Manny Pacquiao on May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas—is due to return to the very same venue on September 12, against an opponent to be determined in the coming weeks.
A request for his promotional company—Mayweather Promotions—to serve as the lead for the forthcoming event was unanimously approved by the Nevada State Athletic Commission during its monthly agenda hearing Thursday morning in Las Vegas.
The headlining act will air live on Showtime Pay-Per-View, the last of Mayweather’s financially record-breaking six-fight deal since signing with the pay cable network in 2013.
Since signing with Showtime, Mayweather (48-0, 26KOs) has fought twice per year—in May and September, around the same time as Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day. All five bouts during that span–in fact his last 11 fights dating back to 2007—have taken place at the MGM Grand.
