Mayweather vs. Pacquiao - May 2

A source close to Manny Pacquiao revealed to The Sunday Telegraph that Pacquiao completed his contractual agreements on Saturday and that Mayweather is set to sign and will announce the contest which is expected to be worth $250 million in the coming days.  That's not a typo - 250 million.  That's like lottery money.  Some people win the lottery and don't get that much.
The deal is said to be a 60-40 split in favor of Mayweather.  That breaks down to 150 million for Mayweather and 100 million for Pacquiao.  I'm really in the wrong line of work.  
“Manny has 100 percent signed his side of the deal,” the source told Telegraph Sport. “It is now over to Mayweather to close the deal and announce the fight.” Pacquiao himself revealed Friday that he has started training in General Santos City, Philippines for his next fight.
