On
Saturday, boxing fans will finally get the fight they have all been waiting
for. Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, easily the two best boxers in the
world, will go head to head at 9 p.m. in what many are calling “the fight of
the century.” Mayweather is favored to win, but only by a tiny margin.
For
their careers, the American-born Mayweather is 47-0 with 22 knockouts and has
won five world titles. Philippines-born Pacquiao is 57-5 with 37 knockouts and
has won six world titles. The fight is expected to be the most watched ever,
even with viewers needing to pay $100 to watch it on pay-per-view. Mayweather
will make about $140-$150 million from the fight, while Pacquiao will receive
around $90-$100 million.
The
winner will earn the right to proclaim themselves as the greatest boxers of
this era. Both fighters are nearing the end of their respective careers, and
whoever wins will be able to bring their career to a triumphant finish.
