Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

By: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 Kos) and MannyPac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, ingawa. It all goes to charity. Bado, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Bado, Floyd did admit in 2012 kwamba the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himselfsmartfor thinking about his family and his health first. Bado, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a littlesofthimself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Hivyo, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, kuangalia nje Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. After all, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Money” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.

I’m thrilled to get back in the ring and show the world what ‘The Treasure’ ni wote kuhusu,” said Theophane. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me and I am going to make the most of it.

 

While the fight the whole world is waiting for takes place Jumamosi, Mayweather Promotions is extremely pleased to put on a great night of fights at Palms Casino Resort just days before,” ulisema Leonard Ellerbe, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Mayweather Promotions. “Ishe Smith is an accomplished former world champion and Ashley Theophane is an exciting welterweight who always comes to fight.

After a long career that saw him go from the world of reality television as a star on “Mgombea” to competing at the top level at 154 na 160 paundi, Smith, 36, finally put it all together in 2010, beginning a four-fight winning streak that culminated in a decision win over Cornelius Bundrage for the IBF super welterweight world title in Feb. 2013, becoming the first native Las Vegan to ever win a world title. He subsequently lost his title on September 14, 2013 by a close split decision to the always-tough Carlos Molina. A knockout victory Ryan Davis gave Smith another title shot as he challenged Erislandy Lara in Dec. 2014. Smith fought well but was beaten by Lara via unanimous decision.

 

Baada ya kupanuliwa kazi Amateur ambayo yeye alishiriki katika karibu 100 mapambano, McCalla is looking to bounce back from his first career defeat when he battles Smith. He dropped a narrow split-decision in Jan. 2015 to Chris van Heerden but had won his previous 20 bouts to start his pro career. The 30-year-old fights out of Baltimore and will make his Las Vegas boxing debut on Aprili 30.

 

Mgombea mwenye uzoefu kutoka London lakini kupambana na nje ya Las Vegas, Theophane is looking to build on his current four fight win streak when he enters the ring on Aprili 30. The 34-year-old has been in the ring with many 140 na wagombea 147-pound ikiwa ni pamoja na Danny Garcia na Pablo Cesar Cano, kupoteza na nyembamba kupasuliwa-uamuzi wa wote. Most recently he dominated Miguel Zuniga on his way to a unanimous decision in Dec. 2014.

 

Sporting a 55-5 rekodi kama Amateur, the heavy-fisted Montes looks to make it back-to-back wins when he takes on Theophane. The 25-year-old is experienced beyond his years as he has fought frequently since turning pro in 2006. He earned a shot at former world champion Humberto Soto in 2013 but dropped the bout by unanimous decision. Most recently the fighter out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico defeated previously undefeated Diego Cruz in Oct. 2014.

 

A threat to deliver a big knockout every time he enters the ring, Gavril hopes to bounce back from his first professional loss when he battles Hunter. The 28-year-old dropped a close decision to longtime contender Elvin Ayala on March 28 but had previously won nine of his first 11 pro fights by knockout. Born in Romania, but fighting out of Las Vegas, Gavril looks to get back on the right track on Aprili 30.

 

The 28-year-old Wawindaji has lost his last three fights but has certainly faced tough competition having battled undefeated fighters in 13 of his pro fights. Fighting out of Seattle, Hunter will look to pull off an upset on Aprili 30 katika Las Vegas.

Over 300 media from around the globe flocked to Wild Card Boxing Club to ask the trio about Pacquiao’s Mei 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFLOYD “Money” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 Kos), katika MGM Grand Garden Arena katika Las Vegas.

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., kuishi kulipa-per-mtazamo matangazo itakuwa ushirikiano zinazozalishwa na ushirikiano kusambazwa na HBO Pay-Per-View® na Showtime PPV® kuanzia saa 9:00 p.m. NA/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach alisemaJumatano:

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Eight-Division World Champion

 

I feel very excited for the fight.

 

I have a lot of sparring partners that are similar to Floyd’s fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect.

 

I have watched tape on Floyd to make sure that our strategy and technique in training camp is correct.

 

My entire career defines my legacy; I have already accomplished great achievements in my career while excelling in different weight divisions. This fight is an additional achievement in my career; it’s the biggest fight in boxing history.

 

I can say that beating Floyd would be the biggest victory of my career.

 

More people are interested and informed about this fight now than they would’ve been five years ago.

 

Style wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct is the exact same as it was five or six years ago.

 

“Kwa maana mimi, boxing is my passion. I enjoy boxing and giving honor to my country of the Philippines. My concern is to bring an exciting fight to my fans. My first concern going into every fight is how will be to be able to entertain my fans, give them enjoyment and make them happy.

 

The reason I am so loved by fans is because of my reckless style of fighting. People like exciting fights with actual punches being thrown.

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

Manny is motivated, he’s ready for the fight. I expect a great performance from him.

 

It’s a very interesting fight because Floyd is a defensive specialist who has a good right hand and picks off his opponents. He’s an extraordinarily good fighter.

 

Pacquiao’s strength is speed, particularly his foot speed and the fact that he throws so many punches and attacks from low angles. He really hits harder than Floyd does, so that’s really what it’s going to be about.

 

Floyd has a different defense than Juan Manuel Marquez. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Kwa kuwa alisema, I think Manny is going to surprise a lot of people with how he is going to be able to reach Floyd.

 

I would say Manny is more motivated for this fight than any other fight I’ve seen him prepare for.

 

I’m looking forward to Mei 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. He looks great, he’s motivated, no nonsense, and I think he’s going to put on a performance for the ages. It’s going to be hard for him to top his performance against Oscar De La Hoya, but I think he will in this fight.


FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame Trainer

 

We have a great idea of when and where we are going to attack Mayweather.

 

This fight was five years in the making. Promoters should realize that these types of fights are what’s best for boxing and we should have more fights like this. I’m not surprised by the hype surrounding the fight.

 

Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He’s a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

 

Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I’ve never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I’m really happy where he’s at. His legs look great; he’s on his toes all the time.

 

Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd’s.

 

Both fighters have great experience, so I don’t believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

 

I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight.

 

I can tell how much this fight means to Manny because he has watched tape on Floyd. Manny has never watched tape on any fighter before.

 

Since Manny moved to 147 he hasn’t knocked many guys out, so getting the knockout in this fight isn’t a concern for me. If Manny fights at 140, then he does knock guys out, but at this weight he is fighting guys who are bigger than him.

 

Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight.

 

This fight is much bigger than when Manny fought Oscar De La Hoya. Manny is a different person going into this fight. He hit me so hard the other day that I believe it’s the hardest I’ve ever been hit by a fighter who I’m training.

 

I don’t believe that Floyd ever wanted this fight, he was forced to take it by the public and the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd pulled out now.

Yeye kutolewa wapiganaji jukwaa kusema kwa mapromota wengine kuwa wanastahili sehemu kubwa ya fedha. Yeye kuletwa ufadhili zaidi kwa michezo.

 

“Floyd Mayweather ni kulipwa mwanamichezo juu katika wote wa michezo na yeye hutokea kwa kuwa bondia.

 

“Nadhani mahitaji hivi sasa tu inaonyesha jinsi kubwa ya tukio hili ni. Hii ni vita ambayo imekuwa kuongelea kwa miaka mitano sasa na kila mtu ni kwenda kupata nini hasa wao tumekuwa kuuliza kwa.

 

“Manny Pacquiao ni mpiganaji mkubwa. Yeye imekuwa katika idadi ya mapambano kubwa na yeye alikuwa na kazi kali hivi sasa. Hizi ni mbili wapiganaji bora wa kizazi hiki na kuja Mei 2 kutakuwa na mtu mmoja amesimama na itakuwa Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Hakuna shaka ni kwenda kuwa mashindano makubwa. Mimi nina kweli msisimko. Siwezi kuona firsthand maandalizi siku hadi siku hiyo Floyd unaweka katika na yeye kufanya kazi tu kwa bidii kama milele. Mashabiki ni kwenda kupata mashindano makubwa usiku huo.

 

“Sijui nini Manny Pacquiao ina nini juu ya Mei 2, lakini Mimi najua kile Floyd Mayweather ina nini. Ana kufanya kile kawaida haina na kwenda huko na nitafanya mchezo wake mpango na mimi kwa kweli kutarajia Floyd kubisha naye nje.”

“Floyd ni pamoja rounded mpiganaji kama kuna aliyewahi kuwa, lakini yeye kweli bado hapa kwa sababu ya utetezi wake.

 

“Guys nyingine kupambana na vichwa vyao na akili zao na kuja mfupi. Ni utetezi wake mkubwa kwamba ina naendelea naye juu kwa muda mrefu.

“Mimi uaminifu kamwe walidhani kwamba hii ilikuwa inaenda kutokea. Hivyo watu wengi walikuwa wakijaribu kusema Floyd alikuwa na hofu. Sasa ebu tuone juu ya Mei 2 ambao ni hofu.
