Mayweather-Pacquiao....March 13???

Say it isnt so. The same day/week as the MWC finals! You would think they would have it after March Madness not during it. If LV gets to host the fight and UNM/UNLV makes the finals it will be a huge sports weekend for LV.

At least it looks like the fight is going to happen. I was worried Money May would be ducking Manny. This will be the most interesting fight ever. The best offense vs the best defense. I have no clue which way it will go. I just hope it is in LV because it just wouldnt feel right having it in Irving, TX or especially New Orleans.

BOXING AND LOBO BASKETBALL.....IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER.

Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will contest their megabout for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight (147 pounds) title on March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, according to sources with knowledge of the decision.

"It's the MGM. It's definite," said a source.

The MGM was chosen over the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium, whose owner, Jerry Jones, had offered $25 million to host the bout. The promoters of both fighters, however, had indicated that they felt the MGM's offer could surpass that of Jones.

The choice of the MGM Grand, whose deal specifications are unclear, is largely based in both fighters' familiarity with the location as well as their past success there.


News conferences already had been planned for Jan. 6, followed by one in Los Angeles two days later on Jan.8, the sources indicated.
