By Gerardo Granados: Have you ever wonder what will happen after the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight this Saturday on May 2? I am not referring to the fact that a winner will be announced or a very improbable draw could occur, but to each fighter fan base.

Maybe the reader is getting a little tired of the constant keyboard wars related to the long awaited, but now imminent battle between two of the most followed fighters of the last decade. There is simply no internet site / forum in which you cannot read how these fan bases constantly struggle to proclaim who is the best fighter, they even think his guy is the righteous TBE (The Best Ever) or The Greatest, but if the rest of fight fans agree with them is no mystery.

Once here at Boxingnews24 you could see articles with plus one thousand comments in Pacquiao-Mayweather articles; have you seen a single week without at least one article related to them?

If the fight turns out competitive and close you can expect each fan base to see his idol as the clear and indubitable winner and the hell will break loose. If the referee does something a fan base doesn’t like then he will be criticized to have favored the winner. Even if there is a knockout win the loser fan base will not stay shut and will express their frustration.

Pacquiao fans might suffer from cognitive dissociation; meanwhile Manny acts like a gentleman to the public and is diplomatic and correct his vast fan base frequently turns belligerent toward someone who doesn’t think Manny is the greatest. Mayweather fan base is no different and when someone dares to speak against Floyd you can expect immediate retaliation.

Will the loser fan base recognize defeat and will the winner fan base act with class is no mystery for neutral fight fans that can see the storm coming.

A friend of mine thinks there is nothing left to talk about the Fight of the Century and he might be right; all we need now is to enjoy the fight and wait for the referee to raise the hand of the winner.

But have the reader wonder what will happen with Pacquiao-Mayweather Jr winner-loser fan base after May2?
