The Maiden Try;
The first negotiations for these two fighters to be in one ring began in May 2009. At that time, Floyd Mayweather was going strong with a win against Ricky Hatton. But 6 months after the victory, he announced that he won’t continue boxing anymore. The then 31, Floyd Mayweather made a great comeback later with defeating Marquez
Pacquiao was on the winning road at that time too. The fight between those two came pretty close as negotiations began to take place. It was decided that upon winning, the boxers will have an equal share of the money. But the camps argued on the issue of Olympic Style Drug Testing for the match and we were again left with a question “When is the Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2015 Boxing Fight?”
The Second Try;
Bob Arum, the owner of Top Rank, tried to put these two together in the ring for a fight on November 13, 2010. Floyd Mayweather Jr. however, was on a holiday during the latter part of 2010 and the whole of 2011. So, that made the fight quite impossible. Even then, Arum approached Mayweather with a deadline of July 16, 2010 to decide when is the Mayweather vs Pacquiao Boxing Match?
The Successful Negotiation
The person to decide “When is the Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2015 Live Bout?” was Mayweather himself. The legend first stepped forward on December 12, 2014. He wanted to fight Manny within the ring this time. His exact words were,
"Let's make this fight happen for the people and for the fans. Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao. May 2nd."
It is only then when the two camps began to move for real. The next thing was a meeting between the two greats on January 27 of 2015 to discuss the match.
But the official announcement came much later. After almost one month of the Meeting, Mayweather mentioned that the fight between him and Pacquiao is official.
