Pacquiao v Mayweather: negotiations begin for superfight

The meeting of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd MayweatherJr., 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.

Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, has said that all details within the negotiations will be kept confidential. Judging by the history of such affairs, it will take weeks to iron out.
