Manny Pacquiao

Philippine boxing legend Manny Pacquiao says the outcome of his July bout against Argentine Lucas Matthysse will likely determine whether he will hang up his gloves after a storied career.

The most advertised boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor has failed to beat the record for ticket sales. The pair fought in August 26 in Las Vegas, the American won with a technical knockout.

Ticket sales from Floyd Mayweather’s superfight with Irishman Conor McGregor failed to top the record set by the American’s 2015 bout with Manny Pacquiao, according to figures released by the Nevada Athletic Commission on Wednesday.

For weeks, odds on the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor kept dropping as bettors relentlessly put their money on the Irishman who holds the UFC lightweight championship belt.

The most anticipated fight of the century is fast approaching and the question of how to go about watching it is already being asked.

The fight is being shown in America exclusively live on Showtime Sports – but it will not come cheap.

American fights fans will have to pay £69.85 ($89.99) to watch in standard definition and £77.60 ($99.99) for HD.

On August 26, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are set to battle each other in the ring, but the bad blood between them began over two years ago when McGregor appeared on The Conan O’Brien Show, and O’Brien asked if he would ever consider taking on Mayweather.

One way or another, there will be two winners in next month’s Floyd Mayweather Jr./Conor McGregor bout: whoever wins in the ring, and Uncle Sam.

Former WBO welterweight title holder Manny Pacquiao is undoubtedly one of the greatest boxers that have have lived, and although he appeared to accept his controversial loss to Jeff Horn in Australia with a sense of humility and equanimity and composure immediately after the bout in the ring, it was a different story when he was on his flight back home to the Philippines.

The boxing skills of Floyd Mayweather are undeniable, even though some would claim he is arguably one of the most boring top tier fighters to enter the ring. But the personality of the multimillionaire 39-year-old former boxer and current promoter, is something that not many people envy.

The Filipino world champion professional boxer, Manny Pacquiao, decided to visit Greece for a few days along with his wife and some friends according to his posts on his social media accounts, Twitter and Facebook.
