Now it's official! After years of back-and-forth negotiations, the wait is finally over! Undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather and 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao have both put pen to paper to finalize their long-awaited showdown. As expected, the bout will take place on May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
While details of all the terms have yet to be revealed, we do know that the bout will be contested at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds with the use of 8 oz. gloves. Furthermore, as has been the case for Mayweather's last seven fights, random blood and urine testing will be conducted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency [USADA].
We could bore you with a brief history of what got us to this point, but do you really care? The only thing that matters is.....IT'S ON!
