Just announced today. FI-NA-LLY. May 2nd. It's on Sports Illustrated's website, Ring Magazine's website, etc... Apparently Mayweather posted a pic of the signed contract online so it's ON.

Would love to see the Pac Man take it.......

Yeah me too. And I'm not a Mayweather hater, but it's pretty hard NOT to like Manny. Most of all I just hope it's a great fight. Manny's gonna get hit, because he gets in there and leaves himself open, and Mayweather's a master counter. So hopefully Manny can get in there and bang him around a little. I just hope the fight doesn't suck after what will be a ridiculous amount of hype leading up to it...

Can't see Pacquiao winning.

I think too late - Pac Man is not at the top of his game.

Mayweather is like Sugar Ray Leonard -waiting to the best guy is past his prime.

But I'm rooting for Pac

yet Mayweather is older than Pac by 2 years (38 vs 36)......

Also read an interesting article the other day talking about how, well, it's boxing, and it's Las Vegas... and how if it's close they might give it to Pacquiao, forcing a rematch that goes to Mayweather, forcing a rubber match, ANNND you've got a half billion dollar franchise. I love boxing but that's what I hate about boxing...

It is indeed a dirty, dirty business.
