Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. set for March 13 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas

The Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight will be March 13 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, a source close to the negotiations confirmed Saturday.

Cowboys Stadium in Dallas also was under consideration after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offered $25 million to host the welterweight blockbuster, but MGM countered with an offer believed to exceed $30 million.


Contracts should be finalized and an announcement made this week, with formal pre-fight press conferences scheduled in early January in New York and Los Angeles.
