WBC President, Mauricio Sulaiman, says that a very special exquisite belt will be created for the winner of the May 2nd historic Mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“For this special recognition I would like to have emeralds or platinum, but everything will be defined during the next few weeks. This is because of the magnitude of the event, which will be broadcast via TV networks globally,” Sulaiman said.
Mauricio highlighted that this bout is one of the most important throughout the entire history of boxing, with a groundswell of anticipation in every part of the world. And both fighters must defend that prestige inside the ring, as there will be a great deal at stake during the bout.
“It came in a good moment and it will be an emotive event. Both are obviously putting their legacy at stake, to prove who's the best, satisfying an enormous expectance. They are also competing to be considered one of the best 10 fighters in the entire boxing history,” Sulaiman
With tickets being as sought after as gold dust, Mauricio commented:
“It is a big shame that tickets are staying with wealthy people. However, boxing fans will have the opportunity to watch the fight via TV. Economic interests are involved with resulting high prices."
