Yahoo broke the news after they reported that the Nevada Athletic Commission approved the request from Mayweather Promotions to put on a boxing card on Aug. 26 at the MGM Grand. The venue could change, however, to the T-Mobile. They've also  stated that the event will also be an entirely boxing card with Mayweather Promotions as the lead promoter. We can't wait.
