Both men have finalized terms for the clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2nd.
Additional stumbling blocks have been overcomed in recent weeks, with both camps reaching an agreement on drug testing and both men able to wear their own gloves – no rematch clause has been included.
The 37-year-old American, Mayweather nicknamed ‘money’ is unbeaten in 47 fights with 26 knockouts, but Pacquiao is considered the biggest threat to his status as the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.
The showdown in Vegas is projected to be the most lucrative in boxing history. Mayweather is expected to have a 60-40 split advantage on revenues, earning a minimum of $120 million and Pacquiao at least $80 million.
