Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana are fighting in a boxing match live on Showtime Pay-Per-View and the PPV matchup will be streaming online and on TV from Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena as Mayweather defends his WBC welterweight title and the event will get started at 9 pm ET and the scorecard can be followed online and the main battle between the two fighters will likely begin their battle after 11 pm ET and it comes soon after Manny Pacquiao fought his match with Timothy Bradley.
Mayweather is the favorite in the fight and he will get over $30 million and he comes in looking to defend the title for the second time in the welterweight division and while everyone in the world wants to see a fight with Pacquiao, he will now fight against Marcos Maidana. Mayweather makes tons of money and he is 45-0 with over 25 knockouts and he will be looking to pad that resume once again and it comes after he won the fighter of the year twice and he has been amazing for boxing while winning titles in five weight classes and he is one of just five fighters to do that and this matchup has been very anticipated for Mayweather as he gets back into the ring.
Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana have went back and forth a bit in the media as boxers usually do and now things will get settled in the ring and Mayweather's opponent comes in with a 35-3 record with 31 knockouts and he had won the welterweight title WBA back in December and he has a great KO percentage based on how many fights he has on his record and the biggest weapon he has is the power punches that he likes to use on opponents. Mayweather is the best pound for pound fighter in the world and that is why he will be favored tonight and history says the venue should play to his favor, as he is undefeated at the MGM in 11 career fights there and now he has a chance to rake in more cash as he defends the belt.
The undercard has a number of solid fights, with the welterweight coming with Amir Khan vs. Luis Collazo, while the light welterweight has Adrien Broner against Carlos Molina and the super middleweight has J'Leon Love and Marco Antonio Periban going at it. Mayweather comes in as the highest paid athlete in the world and he will be getting a big payday for this match and that comes after he made over $70 million in 2013. Mayweather is 37-years-old and he could be on his way to getting to the end of his career, but he is still at the top of his sport and he will look to show that on Saturday.
