<Anticipating the Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight>
LAS VEGAS — As far as fights of the century go, Saturday’s bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao seemingly has it all, with two fighters with contrasting personalities, considered the best pound-for-pound boxers of their generation, meeting for the first time.
Oodles of money is involved, from the $300 million the combatants are projected to split to the $100 million — Super Bowl-size dough — expected to be wagered in Nevada on the outcome.
