"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao spoke on the phone yesterday to discuss a potential fight between the boxing superstars, according to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[tweet https://twitter.com/KevinI/status/160095942773706753 align='center']&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier this month Mayweather had a 90-day jail sentence for misdemeanor assault postponed in order to allow the boxer to fight May 5 in Las Vegas. Since then the undefeated boxer has publically challenged his archrival Pacquiao to fight him on that date at the MGM Grand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pacquiao\u2019s camp has expressed interest in a possible fight with Mayweather, but believes that the two sides can come up with a better date and location to hold the bout.\nAccording to Pacquiao\u2019s financial advisor, the MGM Grand\u2019s limited capacity only seats approximately 17,000 fans, which could potentially raise $20 million in sales. A 45,000 seat boxing arena is currently being built in Las Vegas and could raise up to $50 million.\u00A0 However, the larger arena will not be completed before Mayweather is scheduled to turn himself in for his sentence.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
