Boxing fans have been waiting years and Las Vegas casinos have already begun taking bets on the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight now scheduled for March 13.
Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino pugilist, was made the early favorite after his big win over Puerto Rican fighter Miguel Angel Cotto a few weeks back. Pacquiao boasts 50 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws.
But with Floyd Mayweather Jr. still undefeated with 40 wins, 25 of them knockouts, some say this could be the highest-grossing boxing match of all time. Many fans think Mayweather, at 33 years old, could be past his prime by the time this duel comes around. If Mayweather does win and remains undefeated, he can probably retire (again) and be considered one of the best fighters of all time.
Where the match will take place is still undecided, but locations like Yankee Stadium, MGM Grand, the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, and the New Orleans Superdome are rumored to be considered.
