Floyd Mayweather Jr., who knocked out Victor Ortiz on Sept. 17, will be making a relatively hasty return to the ring. On May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Money wants to give his fans the best fight ever.
Floyd's advisor Leonard Ellerbe said, "We're looking to make the biggest fight possible and everyone knows what that fight is, the little fella." Ellerbe was, of course, referring to Manny Pacquiao. The top two pound-for-pound fighters in the world have been on a collision course for years, but negotiations have fallen through over drug testing protocol.
"Floyd made it very clear that he wants to give the fans the biggest fights that are out there. He wants to stay active," Ellerbe said. "We're going to do everything in our power to make the biggest fight out there for the fans and we all know what the fight is."
Mayweather, a five-division champion, has fought only five times since 2007.
"We have to plan any time you're the biggest star in the sport," Ellerbe said. "You have to plan in advance because his fights are events. In order to maximize the exposure you want to plan as far in advance as you can to make your event as big as possible. May 5, that is the date Floyd is fighting on. We have secured May 5 at the MGM. Floyd is excited to make his return."
