It has been dubbed the “Fight Of The Century”. It is the fight years in the making. It is the fight that boxing fans thought may never happen. It is the fight that is putting the world’s focus to boxing. It is Floyd “Money” Mayweather taking on Manny Pacquiao. They are finally stepping into the ring for a showdown that fans are coming out of the woodworks for.
Perhaps the fight is truly a few years too late, but it hasn’t felt like it yet. The buzz is there in Las Vegas and at home. This event is expected to break every record there is- at the gate, at the box office, at home on pay-per-view, and at your local bar and restaurant. It is the biggest event of the year, and the biggest event of the last several years, and perhaps boxing’s last true big-time event for the foreseeable future.
