Since getting a lop-sided victory over Chris Algieri last November, Manny Pacquiao resumed calling out Floyd Mayweather Jr. to set up their long-awaited mega-fight.  Mayweather said last month: ‘The public want this fight. I want it. the only stumbling block has been Bob Arum (Pacquiao’s promoter) but I think both fighters want it. So it’s time to get it on. I’m not ducking anyone, so let’s get this on.”  Now it looks like the fight is going to happen and Manny Pacquiao believes it’ll be announced soon.

Manny Pacquiao is confident his long-awaited mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr will be announced soon.  And he told the Manilla Standard: ‘We will make an announcement before the end if the month. I think it will happen.’

The fight, which would be worth at least $300 million, is expected to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mayweather wants to fight on May 2, the Saturday closest to the Cinco de Mayo holiday, as has been his tradition in recent years.

But that date has also been earmarked for Miguel Cotto’s proposed clash with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez which would be one of the biggest fights in the history of the Puerto Rico-Mexico rivalry.
