According to sources, and as reported by FanHouse’s Lem Satterfield, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has been selected as the site of the epic boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, unofficially set to be held on March 13.

“It’s the MGM. It’s definite,” said a source.
The MGM was chosen over the Dallas Cowboys’ Stadium, whose owner, Jerry Jones, had offered $25 million to host the bout. The promoters of both fighters, however, had indicated that they felt the MGM’s offer could surpass that of Jones.
The choice of the MGM Grand, whose deal specifications are unclear, is largely based in both fighters’ familiarity with the location as well as their past success there.
Both Cowboys Stadium and the Staples Center had been mentioned as possible sites.
