The sports world has been waiting years for a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather bout and such a fight could end up being a billion dollar cash-cow.

When Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather get into the ring together, it’s going to be one of the best nights in boxing history. But as the years wear on, the fighters are getting older and the bout is losing a little muster. If you’re under the impression that the fight is going to lose money value over time, that’s a sorely mistaken stance to take.

According to The Daily Mail, if Manny Pacquiao wins his fight this weekend, it could set up a billion dollar fight with Floyd Mayweather next year .

"That is the mind-blowing value now being placed upon the boxing match the world has long been desperate to see.Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather can become the single richest event in sporting history and the enormity of the prize will surely be enough to break down the barriers which have prevented it from taking place thus far."

That’s a massive number to consider in terms of revenue, but it makes perfect sense as well. The fight is one that we’ve all been waiting over five years for but it has yet to happen. People will still pay top dollar to see a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight and our wait may be over soon in a move that will make all involved in making the fight happen very rich people.
