Floyd Mayweather
Jr. will meet Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in a welterweight showdown that will be
boxing's richest fight ever. Mayweather himself announced the bout Friday after
months of negotiations, posting a picture of the signed contract online.
"I promised the fans we would get this done and we
did," Mayweather said.
The long anticipated bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas
will almost surely break every financial record, and make both boxers richer
than ever. Mayweather could earn $120 million or more, while Pacquiao's split
of the purse will likely be around $80 million.
