The Mayweather-Pacquiao fight on May 2 is one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing. Indeed, it is poised to be the biggest money maker of all time with a possible $400 million to make off the fight. The live gate is expected to be $72 million, which will shatter the previous record set by Mayweather vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in 2013.
Tonight’s Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight card is set to break the all-time pay-per-view record of 2.4 million buys set by Mayweather in his 2007 fight against Oscar De La Hoya. That fight record has stood for eight years. Mayweather came close to equaling it in his bout against Canelo Alvarez in 2013. That fight brought in 2.2 million PPV buys on Showtime. Had it taken place on HBO, with their larger subscriber base, it’s very likely that it would have shattered the 2.4 million PPV record.
It’s near impossible to pick a winner for the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight because both contestants are so evenly matched in terms of skills and age. What we do know is that Mayweather is unbeaten at 47-0, and that he’s looked very good in his recent fights against Marcos Maidana and Canelo. Pacquiao has won his last three fights since suffering an upset defeat at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012. Pacquiao has since shined with wins over Brandon Rios, Tim Bradley and Chris Algieri.
