"To truly appreciate where we are, let's start again, at the very beginning."
Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will finally cross paths inside the squared circle next weekend (Sat., May 2, 2015) inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It's a showdown more than five years in the making, complete with broken down negotiations, trash talk, finger-pointing and just about everything imaginable other than face punching.
Yes, boxing's biggest fight -- between its biggest stars -- in decades is finally on our doorstep ... at last!
In addition to both fighters and their camps finally coming to terms (albeit lopsided terms), HBO Boxing and Showtime had to iron out a shared broadcast deal to air the "Fight of the Century," which will cost combat sports fans as much as $99 to watch at home.
