By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao says he had a dream that he was going to lose his fight to superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. one month before the two of them faced each other last May in the “Fight of the Century” at the MGM Grand on May 2nd in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao says he saw himself losing to Mayweather by a 12 round decision, and he says he feels blessed that God showed him what would happen in the fight ahead of time.
It’s not know if Pacquiao didn’t try as hard to win because of this dream or what, because a lot of boxing fans felt that Pacquiao gave less than 100% of himself in trying to win the fight. He fought in an unusually passive way compared to many of his other fights, and it wasn’t the usual Pacquiao that many fans had previously come to know in his 20-year pro career.
