Today a huge sports announcement was made. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are finally going to fight each other in the ring instead of just verbally through the media.

Sports fans have been waiting years for Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao to happen. It will go down on May 2, 2015 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. ESPN calls the fight “a lock to be the richest in boxing history and will, barring a draw, settle the issue that has been debated for years: Who is the No. 1 fighter in boxing and who is the king of their era?”

Floyd Mayweather Jr. let the cat out of the bag via Shots, a social media platform he has invested in.

ESPN: In addition to the future Hall of Famers finally hammering out a deal for their welterweight title unification bout — one that will see Mayweather receive the lion’s share of a 60-40 money split in a fight that could gross around $400 million — rival premium cable networks Showtime, which has Mayweather under contract, and HBO, which has a deal with Pacquiao, went through a brutal negotiation and will come together to produce and distribute a joint pay-per-view telecast, which is expected to cost a record-high $89.95 (and probably $10 more for high definition). The fight is expected to shatter every revenue record in boxing history, including the pay-per-view buy record of 2.4 million generated by Mayweather’s 2007 junior middleweight championship fight against Oscar De La Hoya; the all-time pay-per-view revenue record of $150 million generated by Mayweather’s 2013 junior middleweight championship fight against Canelo Alvarez; and the all-time gate record of $20,003,150.

The Christian hip-hop community recently said some things about the forthcoming Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. Derek Minor, DJ Official, Kareem Manuel, KB, and more have tweeted about the match.

*Jam The Hype will add more comments on the fight as they appear.
