The most-awaited fight all set for 2010 biggest showdown, it’s between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. The two top Pound for Pound boxers agreed to 50-50 split for the Welterweight showdown on March 13 next year.

Negotiations between Bob Arum and Richard Schaefer were great. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao met in the Philippines to discuss the proposed fight for March 2010.

According to Michael Koncz, Manny Pacquiao has some additional requirements on the fight, "Manny has some additional requirements, requests, which Arum didn't think was a problem. The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn't feel it's a problem and it's pretty much a done deal," Koncz said.

The Pound for Pound king Manny Pacquiao signed the contract on Friday. The two fighters will fight at 147 pounds and will wear 8oz gloves on the fight night.

The venue for the fight will either be at Dallas Cowboys Stadium or MGM Grand Garden Arena or New Orleans Superdome.

The Team Pacquiao is planning to train in Baguio Philippines for the preparation of the fight next year. It was the training site where Pacquiao trained for Pacquiao-Cotto Firepower. The two fighters will fight for Manny Pacquiao’s title. It will be an interesting match-up between two great boxers in our time.
