Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao have reportedly come to an agreement for a fight on March 13th, according to Dan Rafael. Pacquiao has signed a contract for a 50-50 split of the revenue with Mayweather. The location of the fight has yet to be settled, but the fight will be held at 147 instead of 154 or a lesser catch weight. The fight could bring in $80 million which would be split in half by the two fighters..
The Fight May Be Just Three Months Away!

I just heard the big news. Manny Pacquiao has signed to fight Floyd Mayweather for a split of 50-50. This is so exciting and so absolutely amazing. If Floyd Mayweather signs that contract boxing fans around the world will be extremely enthralled. Its almost a dream come true. It is almost idyllic how all of this has come together so perfectly.
These two fighters combine so much that its going to be amazing to watch them fight. It reminds me of the possible fight that almost occurred a hundred years ago. I"m referring, of course, to Jack Dempsey vs Jack Johnson. When Dempsey was growing up he dreamed of defeating Johnson and returning the title to the white race. It never happened but maybe this fight is even more exciting.
You have to give Mayweather certain natural advantages. First of all, he has had more time to recuperate from his last fight. Plus, his last fight wasn't nearly as tough as Pacquiaos. That could prove very important. Can Manny's ear drum recover in time for the fight? If not, will it affect his balance and timing? This could be very important.
You can bet that Mayweather is already hard at work for this fight. He is probably out running as I write this article. He is probably already grunting and sweating. I am going to pick Mayweather for this fight. He has too much defense and finesse for this guy. I think he may even knock Pacquaio out. Then it will start all over again for the Mayweather haters. They will have to find someone new to tout as the one to dethrone The Money Making Monarch Of Mayhem.
