After 5 years of negotiations,delays and anticipation from the boxing world,the two biggest stars in the boxing world will face each other for the first time time.
There are have been so much debate about who is a better fighter that if they finish their stellar careers without squaring off there would be this unsatisfying feeling in the boxing world.
This fight would have happened five years ago when both fighters defeated the legendary Oscar de LA Hoya,but negotiations fell apart over issues of drug testing.
WHY THE WORLD WILL STAND STILL
•It is the classic good vs bad contest . Mayweather is egoistical and flashy while Pacquaio is seen as an humble champion.
• It will be the biggest boxing bout ever with an expected $500m in ticket sales and global TV revenues.
• For 5 years the world has waited for this bout and it has generated a lot of public interest.
• These are the two best pound for pound fighters of their generations.
• Mayweather has Pacquaio beaten on both career Win – Loss record and current form, but the Pac-Man conquered three of their five shared opponents more briskly.

WHO WINS THIS BOUT?
MAYWEATHER?
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the undoubtedly the bookmakers favourite to win this epic boxing showdown. The American has 28KO wins and has never been defeated.
Even though Mayweather defensive style seems to be boring, the boxer is a master of the craft and he can frustrate his opponents. With good footwork and strong defence Mayweather can just be calm enough so as to profit from any mistake the quick Pacquaio makes on Sunday.
PACQUAIO?
If Manny wants to win this bout he has to rely on his speed and his explosive combinations.
The Filipino Boxer is quick at throwing punches and could be the hardest hitter Floyd will ever face.
He has huge self- belief and it might surely pull him through against the Money Man.
VENUE AND TIME: 6:00 p.m. PDT at The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada
