Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao Not just a numbers game

You can say its taking years to come to fruition but come May 2nd,2015 baring any unusual circumstances the boxing community will embrace what many are calling the biggest fight in the history of professional sports.

We all remember Ali versus Frazer, Sugar Ray Lenoard versus Tommy Hearns and the famous Buster Douglas versus Mike Tyson matchup. May 2nd 2015 we will add Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao to that list of great boxing events.

The much anticipated and long-delayed overdue press conference with the two fighters will take palce on Wednesday March 11,2015 in Las Vegas and you can bet your bootom dollar both sides will deliver enough trash talk that your going to want to be there live at $5000 a pop for seats or your picking up the phone to call your cable or satellite provider to shell out that $89.99 it’s going to cost for the live PPV event.

This past week stories have been browsing out of Las Vegas that have Mayweather’s people paying huge amounts of dollars for sparing partners and equal sums of money for potential Pacquiao sparing partner to pass on being a punching bag for Manny as both fighters prepare for the up coming bout.

Late last week it was reported that one of the Mayweather sparing partners was floored to the ground in a session versus the champ but this could not be confirmed and the sparing partners name wasn’t even mentioned.

Our sources in Nevada have provided the following that Zab Judah who fought Mayweather back in 2006 is the one who is current sparing in the Mayweather camp getting the champ ready for what he might face in terms or Manny Pacquiao’s speed and toughness.

One can’t help to forget that 2006 battle between Judah and Mayweather that broke out in to a bench brawl as cornermen, cutmen and anyone who was in respective fighters corners jumped in the center of the ring and it was a full out fit throwing extravaganza.

We are hours away from press conference time and who will make the biggest splash at the MGM grand on this given day.

Either way both fighters will make a splash come May 2nd,2105 as reports have Mayweather earning over $120 Million and Pacquiao earning over $80 million.
