Pound for pound King Manny Pacquiao and undefeated American Star Floyd Mayweather Jr. will get $25M each from the initial $50M pot pooled together to get both fighters to agree to what has been billed as potentially the richest fight in boxing history.
Pacquiao and Mayweather are scheduled to face off in a highly anticipated March 13 showdown at a still unspecified venue in the U.S.
pACQUIAO will stake his WBO welterweight crown, which he won from Miguel Cotto via a 12th-round TKO last Nov 14 to become the first fighter in history to win 7 world titles in as many weight classes. This time though, the bout will have no catch weight
Both fighters will use 8-ounce globes, the ones Pacquiao prefers - but wil be allowed to select the brand they will use. Pacquiao has been on the rise the past couple of years with explosive victories over Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Oscar de la Hoya, and David Diaz - all via knockout.
Mayweather on the other hand, hammered out a 12-round decision over Marquez after coming off a 21-month layoff.
BE aware, Pacquiao said:" the difference between Floyd and others I have fought is that Floyd makes a lot of trash talk that should not be imitated by young people.
