The highly anticipated Floyd Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao fight will take place Saturday, May 2, at the MGM Grand of Las Vegas. While the Pacquiao Vs.

The Floyd Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao main event has been billed the "richest fight in history." The two fighters are expected to receive a combined sum of $300 million. Moreover, some are calling this fight a "day of destiny," as fans have demanded a face-off between the two biggest names in boxing for nearly a decade.
Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao predictions have been pretty split, even amongst veteran boxing pundits, as both boxers are favorites in their own right. That said, bookkeepers have determined that Mayweather is the favorite as the Vegas boxer's undefeated 47-0 record cannot be ignored. That said, analysts believe that Pacquiao is capable of delivering the devastating knockout punch sometime in rounds eight or nine. On the other hand, Mayweather is favored to win by points victory should the bout run the distance.
