Mayweather versus Pacquiao €250m superfight a step closer

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have come face-to-face as speculation continues to mount that a €250 million superbout between the pair will finally materialise.

The welterweights are considered to be the two greatest fighters of their generation, but despite competing around the same division for a number of years they have never faced off in the ring.

Yet there have been statements from both camps in recent months to suggest that WBC and WBA champion Mayweather, 37, and WBO belt-holder Pacquiao, 36, will square off later this year.
