Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will clash this weekend in an eagerly anticipated super-fight at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather, aged 38, and Pacquiao, age 36, are fighting for the WBC, WBA and WBO welterweight titles. This is the biggest fight in the history of boxing as far as the amount of money involved is concerned, the two fighters are set to split around 150 million pounds.
"Don't get nervous," Pacquiao told his fans. "I'm the one fighting, so relax." Mayweather is unbeaten as a professional, he won all his 47 fights, while Pacquiao was beaten five times out of his 64 matches. Pacquiao added: "I'm very excited and my confidence is 100%. Any time I am the underdog, I like that. It means my killer instinct and focus is fully there. This is the moment I believe he will experience his first loss."
Mayfeather responded: "I'm more calculated, I'm the smarter fighter. He would be a better fighter if he wasn't so reckless. He's won a lot of fights by being reckless but you can be reckless and get knocked out. Just compare our fights against Juan Manuel Marquez - I beat Marquez and Marquez knocked him out."
Here are the odds for the fight at Bet365:
Floyd Mayweather to win - 1.44 Manny Pacquiao to win - 3.00

I don't know what was people expecting from this match. I knew that this will be "boring" match because both fighters are too good and this was one great tactical match. Floyd was better in that tactic and deserved win. So for me this was good match and only people who don't know a lot about boxing can say that this was...

I agree with kruno1414. I didn't saw anything special in this fight. Manny and Floyd are the best fighter on the world at this moment and that is clear but their fight wasn't spectacle like all we expected. I think that Floyd Mayweather deserved that win because he was better and constant during whole match.

A really boring fight it was , not much real clean punches , it was a good pace but a bad fight , both players were to affraid to let themselfs into a real fight which was expected from a "fight of the century". In the end Maywather won by decision and i think he deserved cause he landed more clear hits .

This will be the fight of the year probably, a clash of titans. Mayweather is unbeaten in his professional boxing career so far but I think Manny Pacqiao have the weapons to knock him down. Whatever happens it will be a great and exiting fight and maybe the fans will talk about this one for years.

This is the pinnacle of professional boxing at the moment. Two top master boxer to fight against each other in a long-awaited match. Two different fighter in many ways, two different styles. I personally prefer Manny Pacquiao and I hope that he will be able to defeat Mayweather. On the other side is Mayweather who has not lost match and he will do anything to keep it that way. I can not wait to start the match.

This will be great fight and I think that Floyd Mayweather is closer to win here but that odd on Manny Pacquiao is so attractive. I think that this two fighters are equal and I don't know why bookies offer that great odd on Manny. I think that I will bet on Pacquiao because it is worth of shot, why not...
