Pacquiao to fight Mayweather in March

According to the Associated Press, Manny Pacquiao is likely to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on March 13 after he agreed to a proposal from promoter Bob Arum on Friday.

“Manny has some additional requirements, requests, which Arum didn’t think was a problem,” Pacquaio adviser Michael Koncz said. “The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn’t feel it’s a problem and it’s pretty much a done deal.”

He said the contract still needs some “fine tuning,” but he thinks it will be fine.

This is about the only boxing match that anyone gives a rat’s petute about. We really want to love boxing, but there isn’t much to get excited about these days. That is, until March 13.
