After a few weeks of negotiating, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have finally agreed on a contract for their upcoming fight on May 2, 2015. The Michigan-born superstar uploaded a photo of the contract on his Shots page and told fans, "What the world has been waiting for has arrived." Manny also uploaded a photo of the contract on his Instagram page as well.
The fight is set to become the most lucrative of all time, with reports saying that the purse will be split 60/40 in Mayweather's favor. Some are speculating that Floyd will walk with $150 million to Manny's $100 million, while Forbes believes it will be more like $120 million to $80 million.
Fans eager to attend the fight will be hard pressed to find out that the MGM Grand and surrounding hotels sold out within a matter of minutes after the the announcement was made official. The venue is considered to be on the small size for such an anticipated fight, leading Forbes to speculate that tickets could "exceed $3,000 on the secondary market." While the probability of getting tickets to the epic face-off is rare, many will be tuning in to see the fight on pay-per-view, which will be broadcast on both HBO and Showtime.
