VIDEO: First ad for Mayweather-Pacquiao has us wishing the fight was tomorrow

May 2nd is so far away

Kevin McGillicuddy

This is going to be unbelievable

Behind all the trash talk and the shite-hawking between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, there is the very large matter of one of the most eagerly awaited fights of all time. The two have been looking to get into the ring for about ten years and finally next month,yes just next month,it’s going to happen.

And to whet the appeite for the match in Las Vegas on May 2nd, the first proper ad for the fight has dropped this evening. And it’s a bloody cracker.

Shosports are the pay-per-view operator or who will be selling the rights to the fight and they have come up with   corker of a promo for their coverage. Both men stride into each other’s line of sight like two old Wild West gunslingers, and we don’t think there was much acting needed to get the look of pure disgust on both men’s faces.
