Manny Pacquiao’s shorts will cost millions.
In a report from Spin.ph, Manny Pacquiao’s fight trunks for his May 2 mega fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. at MGM Grand Garden Arena may reach upwards of P100 million.
According to the report, a six-inch by four-inch patch on the eight-division World Champion’s trunks costs almost $300,000 or P13.2 million.
Smaller logos in the front part will cost $150,000 or P6.6 million while a patch placed on the back has the price tag of $100,000 or P4.4 million.
Companies looking to advertise on the Philippine’s most seen billboard will really get the air time as Pacquiao versus Mayweather is the most anticipated boxing match arguably of all time.
It’s also the most expensive fight in history with both fighters expected to earn dollars in the nine-figure range.
Nike, Pacquiao’s official outfitter, is expected to have its swoosh emblazoned on Pacquiao’s trunks.
