While the weekend was filled with the news about what was going to
happen or was happening at the Oscars, boxing fans around the world were
still digesting the news about the upcoming fight between Floyd
Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. I am one of them. Unlike many fans who
jumped and shouted the word Yes at the top or couldn’t stop
singing,humming and chanting, I sat down with the heightened senses
calmly saying, “Finally, it is happening”. But I also phoned and texted
couple of my close friends to share news or pass on the excitement.
It’s is, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated fights in
recent history. A number of things makes this fight special [and I guess
that is exactly what Mayweather wanted all along].
Manny and Pacquiao are both very well respected boxers [if that
respect is not an understatement] with millions of fans behind their
backs. Mayweather has never lost a professional fight. His current
record is 47-0. That alone should widen your eyes and make you take a
step back. But it’s true. No one has managed to beat him. Whether there
is anything behind what we see in the ring or not, only him and his
closest buddies know. With his chin high and shoulders back and a gleam
in one of his eye, Mayweather is already boasting that come May 3rd his record will be 48-0!
