Showdown: Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have agreed to settle it in the Ring at last
The richest match-up in boxing history between Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao has finally been agreed after years of haggling.
A source close to the Filipino boxer and congressman revealed that Pacquiao completed his contractual agreements on Saturday and that Mayweather is set to sign and will announce the contest which is expected to be worth $250 million (£162 million) in the coming days.
Mayweather was in New York on Friday, buying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewellery, and there are indications that the unbeaten American boxer could even decide to announce the superfight officially at the NBA All-Star Game tip-off, which takes place on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
“Manny has 100 per cent signed his side of the deal,” the source said. “It is now over to Mayweather to close the deal and announce the fight.” Pacquiao himself revealed Friday that he has started training in General Santos City, Philippines for his next fight
