Well, that didn’t take long. In the span of minutes on Friday afternoon, Floyd Mayweather announced via his Shots app that he would be facing Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd. Then came a flurry of press releases from the promoters and the television networks. And within minutes more, Showtime released their first Mayweather vs. Pacquiao video promo. Watch it right here.
It’s just a quick clip, lasting 15 seconds, and it’s all about Mayweather, with a quick couple of highlights thrown in, and then him talking on camera from an old interview about wanting to get the fight made for May 2nd. And there we go.
Stay tuned for much, much more over the coming days and weeks. It’s going to be a nonstop media blitz all the way up until fight night. Is everybody finally, really, ready for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao? Let’s hope so.
