Floyd vs. Manny

Lets take a look at what we have going on in the sports world. The basketball regular season is almost at an end with the playoffs just around the corner. The cricket world cup has been underway for the past few days. March madness once again has not disappointed with one of the most exciting first weekends in tournament history. The baseball preseason has given fans a reason to break out the gloves again.
On May 2nd of this year at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the past years will take place between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather is considered the best boxer today at 38 years old with 47 wins, 26 of which came from knockouts and the other 21 from decision. He is a five decision world champion and has won ten world titles in his career as a boxer. Manny Pacquiao, coming in at age 36, has won 57 fights and lost only 5. He was undefeated up until a few years ago when he was knocked out for the first time in his illustrious career by Rustico Torrecampo.
Many believe that, although Floyd is 2 years older than Manny, Manny is out of his prime. Manny's career has been longer than Floyd's, having fought 11 more fights than Mayweather. There is much speculation that Mayweather kept putting off this fight to wait until Manny was out of his prime so that he was sure he would be able to win.
Regardless of what people say, this fight will go down in history. Both of these boxers have been waiting a long time for this fight and have had much time to prepare. They will both be in great shape come May 2nd. The fight is set to generate over $74 million from about 15000 tickets sold. I am very excited to see these two boxing superstars battle it out in the ring.
