The proposed super fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is getting closer.
Mayweather agreed to terms for the welterweight title bout on Tuesday, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com.
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.
Pacquiao and Mayweather have fought recent bouts at catch weights. However if they complete their deal, the bout would be contested at 147 pounds, the maximum for a welterweight fight, a source said. ESPN
I haven't been a boxing fan since Tyson stepped out of the ring, but this year I have got back into it and it's been awesome. The Mayweather/ Marquez fight was eye opening to me about how elusive and amazing Floyd really is. It honestly looked like he took a brisk jog after destroying Marquez. And the Pacquiao/ Cotto fight was really good too. I had no idea Pacman could take punches like he did and still utterly dominate Cotto. So who do I think is going to win? Mayweather easily do to size and quickness (I know, I feel crazy saying quickness referring to a Pacman opponent.) But I guess we will have to see whenever the fight is announced.
