Pound-for-pound

BBM’s are reprogrammed and ready to go! To all the regular readers out there that noticed I was gone, JM's BBM's are back after about a monthlong layoff. To make a long story short, I've been dividing my time between work during the week and Las Vegas on the weekends for the World Series of Poker, which I'll document at a later post. Needless to say, time has been in short supply, but as the Series closes I'm finding the time to knock out these weekly posts once again. Let's dive right in to see what's going on in the world of Pil-Ams in sports.

Fans worldwide have been begging for a mega fight between the   top two Pound-for-pound boxers - Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and Floyd “Money” Mayweather, for a while now; and a person with knowledge of the discussions has said that in the end, there was enough up-front money for both camps to agree to an equal split of the purse.

Pacman & Money will get $25 million each from the initial $50 million pot that has been pooled together to get both fighters to agree to what has been billed as potentially the richest fight in boxing history.

This is going to be an exciting fight,” Pacquiao said on Philippine national TV Friday, December 4th. “I want to fight Floyd Mayweather very badly. It’s the fight that everyone wants to see.”
