Manny Pacquiao will allegedly fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13th in the biggest fight of this generation. The fight has yet to be officially announced, though reports are rampant that everything is settled and that they are now just looking for a location for the fight (The rumors have been swirling for about a month or so…we first reported about this fight on the site a month ago HERE). They will fight as welterweights at 147 pounds. Both fighters will come into the fight as the most dominant fighters of the era, and both are vying for the title of “best pound-for-pound boxer in the world.” These two fighters have been on a collision course for years, even as Mayweather retired from boxing and Pacquiao began to focus on political and entertainment endeavors in his home country of the Philippines. The parties will split the purse from the fight, which encorporates both gate ticket sales as well as pay-per-view sales. Some predict that this fight could dwarf the now-standing record of pay-per-view revenue set by Mayweather in his 2007 fight with Oscar De La Hoya. Many arenas and locations have thrown their names into the hat to land this huge fight. While Las Vegas‘ MGM Grand is the favorite to host the event, a big push is being made by Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys organization to bring the fight to Cowboys Stadium, a brand new, state-of-the-art facility that can hold upwards of 100,000 people for most events. Other locations that have been mentioned are Miami‘s Land Shark Stadium, New Orleans‘ Superdome, an outdoor, make-shift stadium in Vegas, and a push from the Republic Of Congo to host the event in their country. While signs point to Vegas (as they do for most big fights), look out for the Dallas team to make a big push, as they are trying to make this event the first landmark sporting event to take place at the stadium.

New Music: Denzel Curry – “Envy Me”
9 years ago 529,551
If you've been reading iHipHop long enough then you're certainly no stranger to my support for Miami rapper Denzel Curry. I've countlessly praised this 20-year-old ever since I was introduced to him via SpaceGhostPuurp's Raider Klan group. When Curry dropped his debut full length album Nostalgic 64 back in 2013 my interest in his music grew tenfold and although he's dropped some gems since then with tracks like "Feel Like That," "Certified," and "Ultimate" Curry has yet to put out a full-bodied work like Nostalgic 64. But that appears to be ending this coming May 26th when he's set to drop his double EP entitled 32 Zel / Planet Shrooms. Needless to say I am hyped and after hearing "Envy Me," the first official preview of the forthcoming double EP, I am definitely going to be incessantly staring at my calendar waiting for that date to finally arrive. Anyway, peep "Envy Me" after the jump!
