Promoted by Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotions, it is expected to draw the largest crowd of boxing oficionados, celebrities and fans around the world.
Sponsored by Showtime PPV, the fight is expected to rake-in a record breaking revenue. Will Pacquiao win his 9th Championship belt? Be the judge on May 7th when he unloads his counter-punching prowess, lightning-speed and 7-punch combination on Mosley, who is predicted to run out of gas.
Although Mosley is bigger, Manny is expected to remain victorious when the fight is over. He proved this by beating great Mexican Boxers such as Morales, Barrera, JM Marquez, Diaz, Golden Boy-Oscar de la Hoya, Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto, African-Joshua Cottey, Briton Ricky Hatton and another Mexican-Antonio Margarito, who suffered a broken orbit after losing to Manny during their last fight.
Pacquiao is no doubt the #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world, followed by another rising Filipino boxer , Nonito "Flash" Donaire. Who will take the third spot? Mayweather? I don't think so.
