Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao- Will the records set by the fight ever be broken?
‘PacMan’ and ‘Money Mayweather’ are without a two of the best fighters of their respective era. Therefore, it only made sense that the entire boxing community wanted to see them go head to head. However, in the sport of boxing, that is sometimes easier said than done.
It is well documented that the two camps tried to make a fight multiple times. Unfortunately, the difference of opinion was huge. As both men were represented by rival promotions and TV networks, it did not allow the fight to materialize easily.

As fate would have it, ‘PacMan’ and ‘Money Mayweather’ ran into each other at a basketball game and met at a hotel after that. The two men got the deal done, paving the way for the biggest fight in boxing history. The fight absolutely shattered every possible record.
It sold an incredible 4.6 million PPVs, which is the most in combat sports history. The only fight that has come remotely close to that number is Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor. Hence, almost six years on, the record is untouched. Given that, it’ll be interesting to see if the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight is ever eclipsed.
