Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao, billed as The Fight of the Century, Battle for Greatness or Legacy, was a professional boxing match between the eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated, five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. The fight took place on May 2, 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Manny Pacquiao is not perfect. He's not unbeatable. He's not impossible to root against. Imagine that. In the last seven months, nothing has quantitatively changed for Pacquiao, who is still on a winning streak and still one of the most insanely famous people in the world. And yet it feels like things are on the precipice of changing. There's no need to trot out the "oh, how the mighty have fallen" cliché for him just yet. But there's something vaguely in flux about the Filipino living legend's aura, and the idea of the mighty falling is suddenly conceivable.
