This past Saturday was the day of the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight. I worked in the morning but I had plans to go watch the fight afterwards. I was invited to go to my friends house who had paid to view the fight on paperview. It's crazy to me how big and popular these events are. This fight cost $99.99 to buy. I can't even begin to imagine how much money these guys make for these fights. It was being considered the fight of the century. This fight that I am referring to is professional boxing. The fight took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite predictions that Mayweather–Pacquiao would be the highest grossing fight in history.This fight was so hyped up that I was expecting to be on the edge of my seat. I was not. I actually found it to be very boring and not too entertaining. Mayweather ended up winning the fight by throwing more contact punches than Pacquiao. Im not sure of the rumors about how much they would make from these fights but I had heard anywhere from 200-300 million could be made by each of them. Makes me want to consider professional boxing.......
not really!
