All eyes will be on Las Vegas on May 2 (or May 3, if you’re anywhere east of the Atlantic Ocean) as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather touch gloves for what is being hailed as the ‘Fight Of The Century’.

The pair, both considered among the greatest boxers of all time, have not met in the ring before, keeping fans in thrall for five years with a series of claims, counterclaims, truths and half-truths.
