By The Commissioner: The date is May 1st 2015, the stage is set for the most anticipated fight of all time. The ‘fight of the century’, the fight of all fights, the fight that has dominated sports media for near on a decade. Floyd Mayweather Jr, Pretty Boy Floyd, Money Mayweather finally squares off against the people’s champion; Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino Whirlwind, whom to many observers, is Floyd’s kryptonite.
Fast forward to May 3rd 2015 and social media is awash with negative opinion regarding the supposed ‘Fight of the Century’, many labeling it boring and devoid of any real engagement. The bout came to a predictable ending, at least to the unbiased eye, one uninfluenced by matters of the heart and solely based on logical thinking. Personally, I had always believed that Mayweather was too skilled a boxer to be beaten, or even troubled by Manny but I still tuned in, more to see if Pac-Man could be prove me wrong rather than to see Mayweather prove me right.
