what promises to be the richest fight in history, it has finally been

Manny has different mindset from other boxers who were KOed cold, coming from his humble beginnings, he persevered & became a global brand of boxing.The greatness of a man and a fighter is not when is on a high roll, enjoying his victories and the adulation of the masses. It is when he is down in his depths of despair, and still hang on to his faith in himself and his God, akin to Job in the Old Testament. Manny Pacquiao was humble and gracious both in victory as well as defeat. And even if he does not defeat Mayweather, his greatness as a human being is well established.
