Pacquiao-Mayweather slug fest: It's on!!

That's right fight fans! The Pacquiao-Mayweather duel will be on March 13, 2010 -- which a lot of boxing pundits are somewhat referring to it as "the fight of the Millennium". I've been waiting for this dream match to happen and finally, it's gonna be a reality -- all thanks to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. This one is going to be yet another money-maker and will surely not disappoint.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr has already started training for the mega-bout. Speaking of Mayweather, everybody knows how he likes to talk a lot. I mean, dude likes to put a lot of hype. I respect his skills as a fighter but "Pretty boy" can be a bit overconfident. He thinks he got Pacman's number come March:

Floyd Mayweather Jr believes he will knock out Manny Pacquiao when boxing's two biggest stars meet in 2010.

The American and the Philippines star, regarded as the world's two best pound-for-pound boxers, are finalising plans for a welterweight meeting on 13 March.

And unbeaten Mayweather, 32, said: "He's been knocked out before and he's taken losses. I'll be victorious."

Apparently, the writer of the published article is obviously a Mayweather fan. It's too early to predict who's going to win but I'd still put my money on Manny Pacquiao, no doubt about it. It doesn't matter if he lost 3 times (if I'm not mistaken) in his boxing career but he's still The pound-for-pound King!

On the lighter side of things, Manny Pacquiao got some SLAM love. That's right, there's an interview of Pacman on SLAM Magazine issue 134 (which already hit magazine stands everywhere and here in the Philippines). Shout outs to Slam writer Tzvi Twersky for featuring the Philippines' on the pages of SLAM.

So boxing fans, mark your calendars -- March 13, 2010 is the date (March 14 here). That will surely be a fight of epic proportions, literally.
