Mayweather vs Pacquiao is upon us (THIS IS NOT A DRILL)

  

A fight six years in the making, boxing fans around the world FINALLY get their wish tonight (if they’re willing to pay up.)  Floyd finally has to face his biggest fear in life, the man he has been ducking for a half-decade now.  This fight is the closest the sports world can come to good vs evil. Mayweather might be the worst person in all of sports, maybe the world in general. Everyone seems to forget he is a serial convicted assaulted of women, and on top of that acts like everything in the world is his birthright, calling himself the best fighter of all time, while he goes about picking inferior opponents. Yes he’s 47-0, but he’s never fought anyone at Pacquiao’s level. If there’s any justice in this world, in a few hours it’ll read 47-1 (I have no confidence in this and expect Floyd to win, but a boy can dream.)
