Floyd Mayweather announces fight with Manny Pacquiao is set for May 2 - ESPN

"At long last, pound-for-pound greats Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will finally fight.

Yes, the fight that looms as one of the most anticipated in boxing history is finally on.

For more than five years sports fans have clamored for a summit meeting between the two best fighters in the world and after various failed negotiations -- and a protracted and difficult effort to make the fight in recent months -- they will get it on May 2 to unify their welterweight world titles at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas."

I used to love boxing back in the 90s. Friday Night Fights on TNT was awesome. Teddy Atlas was awesome. Mike Tyson was awesome.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

well that sucked.

i fell asleep in the 6th round or so.

i kinda have no urge to watch the rest.

that was the last thing boxing needed - the world finally turns it attention back to the sport after decades .. and its a dud yawner.

i used to be a big boxing fan and occasionally i will see a good fight on hbo or showtime but im not tuning in nearly as much.

Biggest waste of a $100.

And I dunno who that douchecanoe was who did the post-fight interview with Pacman but he was a grade A jackass. He basically asked Pac why he decided to suck and blow for 12 rounds and why he didn't try harder to not lose. What a dick.
