Many will say that the fight is too late and they may be correct,but it's still compelling and will have two of the big three welterweight titles on the line and without the silly catchweight that has become the rage in boxing's big fights of late.
I'm often critical of Floyd Mayweather,but give him credit this time for getting past pettiness and stubbornness (much of it his own) and finally giving the fans the fight they wanted after years of giving them everything but that...
Give credit to Manny Pacquiao for taking a little less (I think he'll get by ) to make plenty and get this done as well.
Very excited and interested in seeing just how the undercard looks.
Will it be loaded with showcase fights since the buys will be high anyway?
Or will both sides use the chance of so many eyes on the fight to showcase our sport at its best??
The boxing challenge continues tomorrow with the real middleweight champion defending his title in Monaco.
WBA champ Gennady Golovkin defends against perhaps his toughest test in Martin Murray,who narrowly lost to then-champion Sergio Martinez in Argentina for his only loss.
Keep in mind for all of Murray's talent,we were hearing the same things about Matthew Macklin and Daniel Geale and both fell in three to Golovkin.
We also have a rematch in Germany for the WBO Super Middleweight belt as Arthur Abraham defends against Paul Smith after a fight that all thought could go either way and was scored lopsided by German judges for Abraham....
The challenge is currently tied at six points apiece
