Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao, billed as Battle for Greatness or The Fight of the Century, 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. Despite predictions that MayweatherâPacquiao would be the highest grossing fight in history as early as 2009, disagreements between the two boxers’ camps on terms for the fight prevented the bout from coming to fruition until 2015. The failure to make the MayweatherâPacquiao fight was named The Ring magazine Event of the Year for 2010.
