LAS VEGAS -- It was a fight that seemed destined to never happen, to be one of those all-time great showdowns that unfortunately failed to materialize. Boxing fans were teased for more than five years with the idea of the world’s two best pound-for-pound fighters colliding in the same ring. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao on Saturday finally got together in what was billed as the “Fight of the Century.”
Mayweather improved to 48-0 with a unanimous decision, earning scores of 118-110 and 116-112 (twice) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
