The Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight will most likely be set for a March 13th date, after Pacquiao agreed to a proposal from his promoter Bob Arum on Friday. Manny did have a couple requests for his promoter on the fight but Arum didn’t think his requests were a problem and shall be met. A March 13th date against Mayweather comes only 4 months after Pacquiao took the ring against Cotto in mid November, it will be a shorter period of time since Pacquaio crushed Ricky Hatton in May.

Manny acknowledges that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is much different than the opponents he’s fought in the past, “the difference between Floyd and others I have fought is that Floyd makes a lot of trash talk that should not be imitated by young people,” Pacquiao said. Along with his boxing career Manny Pacquiao will be running for a congressional seat in May, his campaigning does not start until April. If the fight is made and at this moment it does, there will be a press conference in New York City on January 11th announcing it. Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Jr. would be the fight of the year and could possibly draw in the highest amount of money in boxing history. For as hosting the fight, the Superdome in New Orleans, and the new Dallas Cowboys stadium have shown interest, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has also shown much interest in the fight. You can bet that both boxers with be in top shape as they face their toughest challenge yet.

The Pac-Man has been on some kind of knockout streak ever since his 9th round TKO victory over David Diaz in June, since then Manny has absolutely dominated his opponents, Oscar De La Hoya was beaten badly and called it quits after 8 rounds, Ricky Hatton was dropped with a hard left hook in the 2nd round, and then Miguel Cotto after barely lasting with Pacquiao, has the fight called to a halt in the 12th and final round. Pacquiao is on some kind of mission that it seems no one can stop. If there is one person who could put an end to Pacquiao’s dominance, you can bet it will be none-other than the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40-0). Mayweather’s coming off his last fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in August where Mayweather won by unanimous decision.

Mayweather Jr. had been shortly retired prior to his last fight, but wanted to re-enter the sport he loved and show everyone that he was still the best pound for pound boxer in the world. Mayweather has been heard saying that his upcoming opponent his one-dimensional, and that it will be an easy time in the ring – I’m not so sure about that but that’s nothing new coming from Mayweather Jr. This article is brought you by The Sports Weekly – latest sports news at your fingertips along with sports stories, articles and scores.
