Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Rumors: Negotiations Begin

We all knew this was coming, Floyd came back to the ring and put on a clinic on technique and showmanship while Pacquiao devastated one of the toughest Welterweights imaginable. Both men have claims to the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, and it was the fight the fans wanted to see.

We have reports now that Goldenboy Promotions is on it for May 1, 2010.

The meeting of Pacquiao and Mayweather will be the biggest fight for at least a decade, and could overhaul many revenue records, with May 1 2010 the projected date of the contest, most likely in Las Vegas.

The all-time pay-per-view record is the 2.44 million buys generated by Mayweather's 2007 win against Oscar De La Hoya. It is expected that a meeting of Pacquiao and Mayweather could sell over 2.5 million pay per view buys, and gross over $100 million.
