Pacquiao vs Mayweather kicks off promotion on March 11
Attracting a pile of attention for years before it was even made, organizers did not feel that it was obligatory to spearhead a cross-country media tour

 

MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will come face-to-face on March 11 for a promotional press conference at a yet-to-be-determined location in Los Angeles, California.

After nearly six years in the making, this generation’s two decorated pugilists will finally meet in the ring on May 2 (May 3 in PH) at the 16,800-seater MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Attracting a pile of attention for years before it was even made, organizers did not feel that it was obligatory to spearhead a cross-country media tour to promote the long-awaited encounter, opting instead for one press event in Los Angeles and one more news conference in Las Vegas a few days before the actual fight.

Boxing fans hoping to get a glimpse of the fighters at the Los Angeles press conference appear to be out of luck as the affair is not open to the public.

Pacquiao and Mayweather have already started their respective training camps on Monday, March 2.

The 36-year-old Filipino southpaw posted a video of himself jogging and working on the punching bag on Instagram after he had flown in from his homeland over the weekend.



Meanwhile, Ring Magazine published a short clip of Mayweather, preparing for the super-fight at his overcrowded gym in Las Vegas.
