Fight will be @ 147... Gloves still in talks...
A source close to the negotiations says the most likely venues for the fight are Las Vegas or Cowboys Stadium. The purse — which could generate $150 million in pay-per-view revenue — will be split 50-50 between the fighters, according to the source, who adds that there will be a 147-pound weight limit.
"One hundred and forty seven is ok with us," said Roach, "but we're still working on some of the other stuff like the gloves. I'm sure (Mayweather) wants 10-ounce gloves. We want eight ounces. But Bob told me he'll take care of all that."

Hell yeah.
Big fight weekends in Vegas are the shit. There's an electricity in the air the entire weekend, not just on fight night, and when they say the city is buzzing...you'll know what they mean.
Even if you just watched it closed circuit, the atmosphere is just insane.
Once in your lifetime you gotta make it out to Sin City for one of these mega events. Its expensive no doubt, my wallet is still on life support from the Pacquiao-Cotto weekend, but fuck it...it was 150% worth it.
