    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.
    "It's the MGM. It's definite," said a source.

    The MGM was chosen over the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium, whose owner,

    , 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 fighters' familiarity with the location as well as their past success there

    News conferences planned for Jan. 6 in New York, 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.

    Source is where they hype the fights :bbb

    I'm not surprised because Floyd always fights in Vegas... What I am happy about is this fight getting made. Come March 13 the boxing world will change forever.

    props to pacquiao for moving up from 106 lbs and for overcoming being a one-dimensional fighter to beat diaz, DLH, hatton, and cotto in successive fashion while MAyweather dances with the stars to make this fight happen lol

    Boxing loses by not having this fight in Dallas. We need a fight that will gate similar to what Tunney-Dempsey did in the 20's to give the fight game a much needed boost.

    Too obvious. Try to mask your trolling a bit if you want to draw a genuine reaction.
