The big fight. The fight of the century is only hours away.Floyd Mayweather will take on Manny Pacquia in what is now the richest fight in history of boxing.
The 38-year-old Mayweather,popularly known as the money-man is undefeated from 47 fights and it is said it was a record he was confident of keeping intact. Despite the man having an history of domestic violence having been charged and jailed for 2 months in 2012 for beating his wife, along side another charge of assulting his girlfriend, he now says "This fight is not good versus evil. It is one fighter who is at the top and another."
The 36-year-old Pacquiao, who brings a record of 57-5 with two drawn and 38 knock-outs to the bout, said he was comfortable with Mayweather being considered favorite. "It motivated me more and it helped me a lot and gave encouragement to focus," he said. He is the first and only eight-division world champion, in which he has won ten world titles, as well as the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes. PacMan, a devout Christian, said his main aim in taking on Mayweather in what will be the richest fight in boxing history was to inspire the weak and glorify God.
For more than five years, contractual hurdles and animosity between the camps kept the two fighters from meeting in the ring. But atlast it is now a reality, and this weekend will be in books of history as one of the greatest "fight-day"
