Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Manny Pacquiao has given Floyd Mayweather a deadline of until the end of the month to agree to fight him this year, with 2 May the proposed date of the bout the world has been waiting to see for six years.
"My promoter and I, we've already agreed to the terms and conditions of whatever he wants," Pacquiao told the Los Angeles Times. "We're just waiting on the signed contract from him. I don't have an idea [if it will happen].
"We just want to make that fight happen - for the sake of the fans, for the sake of the millions of people around the world who are excited to see that fight.
"I just want to prove who's really No 1. If the fight is on and he beats me, I'm really convinced he is No 1. If not, I'm No 1."
A Mayweather camp “insider” had been quoted as saying “they’re putting it together”, but there has been no word from the Money Man himself.
