As expected, representatives for Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are meeting today in Las Vegas to open negotiations for a potential blockbuster between the two welterweights in 2010.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, is representing Mayweather in talks with Bob Arum, founder of Top Rank Inc. and Pacquiao's promoter, sources confirmed.

HBO has targeted May 1, 2010, as a working date for a pay-per-view showdown between Grand Rapids native Mayweather and the Filipino star Pacquiao.
