Manny Pacquiao 'agrees deal' to fight Floyd Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao has signed off on all points for a $250 million superfight this year and is now awaiting Floyd Mayweather’s agreement, according to the Filipino's promoter, Bob Arum.

Arum, the Top Rank chief executive officer, said on Wednesday night: “It’s something that boxing has to be ashamed of if a fight like this never happens. I think that it will get done.
