Boxing fans around the world are in shock as two of the sport’s biggest stars are set to meet in the ring in 2015! The Fight Network has learned that Manny Pacquiao will fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV on May 2nd, 2015. The deal was struck after Mayweather reached out to Pacquiao’s team to gauge their interest in fighting each other. After discussions with both fighters’ camps and various networks, it was decided that the fight would take place on pay-per-view and not on Showtime, which currently televises both fighters’ bouts…

Who are they
Manuel Manny Acosta Pacquiao is a Filipino boxing champion who holds numerous world titles in eight weight divisions. As of this date, he has won 56 out of 62 fights, 40 by KO. He is a five-division world champion and the first boxer to hold two versions of the welterweight title. In addition, he is the first boxer and non-heavyweight to be universally recognized as a world champion in four different weight classes. He has been voted Fighter of the Decade for the 2000s, as well as being named Fighter of the Year from 2003-2005.

How did they get here?
Manny Pacquiao, who is boxing’s only eight-division world champion and the only fighter to unify titles in four weight classes, lost his last two fights. In contrast, retired undefeated American boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather has won all of his 49 professional fights and carried a perfect 40-0 record. Talk of a potential showdown has been floating around for years but never quite came together. It seemed that these two were destined to never face each other inside the ring – until now. Both fighters have confirmed this Friday on their respective social media accounts that they will be fighting on May 2nd, 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The fight will be produced by HBO Pay-Per-View and Showtime Pay-Per-View.

What will happen now
For months boxing fans have been waiting for an announcement on the super fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. On May 1, 2016, the two fighters announced they have agreed to a 12-round boxing match on Saturday, August 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada ข่าวมวย. I’m glad that we were able to come together and make this historic deal, said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. Both guys deserve credit for stepping up. He continued to say Manny is one of the best boxers ever and Floyd is one of the best boxers ever. When you get that kind of fighter in the ring there’s always going to be fireworks.

The most interesting fact about each boxer
Manny Pacquiao has a height of 1.67m, making him the taller boxer of the two, but only by one inch. He was born December 17th, 1978, and weighs 145 lbs., giving him a lighter weight class. He is also an elected Congressman in his native Philippines. His last fight was against Timothy Bradley Jr. on April 9th in Las Vegas. He won that match with a unanimous decision of 117-111, 116-112, and 115-113; earning him the WBO Welterweight World Champion title.

My two cents
Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be fighting for the title of boxing champion on May 2nd in Las Vegas, but many people are wondering if the match is even worth it. That’s because both of these boxers have been declining in terms of power and skill in recent years. They are now much closer to each other than they were 10 years ago when their differences made the matchup much more exciting and challenging. With both fighters coming close to retiring due to their advanced age, it may be wise for them to postpone this match until there is a clear winner.

Conclusion
Rumors of the highly anticipated boxing match between two of the best fighters in the world, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., were just confirmed! The long-awaited rematch is set for May 2nd. The two boxers fought back in 2009 with a huge bout, generating well over one billion dollars worth of revenue worldwide. Fans are speculating that this upcoming fight could break all the boxing records, making this the most watched televised event in history. Of course, it’s far too early to make predictions about who will win; we’ll just have to wait and see. But we can’t wait for May 2nd when these two undefeated fighters will fight it out!
