There are several reports also saying that the fight announcement could be this NBA All-Star Sunday. According to sources it's agreed that Mayweather will be the one to announce the fight.
Fight fans, I think, the fight that we've been long been waiting for will finally be happening!

But still my fingers were crossed till I will the bell to signal the first round then Mayweather and Pacquiao come out from the opposite corner of the ring.
