It’s Official. Mayweather and Pacquiao Are Finally Fighting on May 2nd.

After many false starts, it looks like the much anticipated fight between Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is officially happening. According to ESPN.com, earlier today, Mayweather stated:

“I am glad my decision to meet with Manny and discuss making this fight happen helped get the deal done,” Mayweather said, referring to a chance Jan. 27 meeting with Pacquiao at a Miami Heat game followed by a private discussion after the game. “Giving the fans what they want to see is always my main focus. This will be the biggest event in the history of the sport.”
