The Best Pound for Pound, if you ask me!

I don't care if anyone reads this today, or if anyone reads it at all but you must watch this fight.

Yes the main event is set to break all sort or PPV records after years of painfully waiting for terms to be agreed on, it is finally here!! It's a 147-pound showdown, with Floyd "Money" Mayweather's WBC and WBA (super) titles on the line against Manny Pacquiao's WBO belt.

If Manny wins he would become the first man in boxing history to in his boxing career to have become at some point the best Flyweight, Featherweight, Junior Lightweight, Junior Welterweight and Welterweight in the world without question.

Money, meanwhile, is a five-division champion, and his 47 wins no draws no loses makes it hard to deny his reputation as the best "Pound for Pound" of all time.

The "Money" legend would just be confirmed as we all agree he just has to face Manny... and beat him to truly make us "believe" his talk.

Prediction
Mayweather is the favourite for a reason and the five men they both faced seem to agree that's Marquez, Cotto, Hatton, Mosley and de la Hoya (though Oscar has said in his heart he would love a Manny win). I would go so far to say it won't make it to round 7 I'd even bet on it. This fight has come about four years to late for Manny i.m.o that is.

But when all is said and done Money will be confirmed as The Best Ever #TBH whether it goes the distance or not.

The Premier League changes its logo.

The most lucrative football league in the world, The English Premier League (EPL), yesterday unveiled its new official logo, which will be used from the 2016-17 season onwards. The division's lion icon has been the face of England's top flight since its launch in 1992 but has undergone a makeover to give it a fresh, modern look. It means, EPL is ending its 12-year association with Barclays bank and will from now on be known simply as ‘the Premier League’. The new logo – has a crowned lion’s head gazing to the right, accompanied by either the words ‘Premier League’ or ‘PL’ -- will replace the current logo of a lion with its left paw on a football. All 20 clubs in the top flight have also agreed a new centralised sponsorship strategy, meaning the league will no longer have a named sponsor. “From next season we will move away from title sponsorship and the competition will be known as the Premier League, a decision which provided the opportunity to consider how we wanted ...

Arsene Wenger v Jose Mourinho: The history of their rivalry in quotes

While the Manchester United boss has generally had the upper hand on the pitch over the years, both managers have had stern words for each other in the press room. Here we recall their rivalry in quotes, dating back to Mourinho's first season in English football... "I don't see especially that Chelsea play more English players than we do. Who have they produced, homegrown? Just one, John Terry." - Wenger in 2005 when quizzed on Arsenal's all-foreign line-up. At the beginning of the following season in August 2005, Wenger also expressed concerns over Chelsea's tactics: "I know we live in a world where we have only winners and losers, but once a sport encourages teams who refuse to take the initiative, the sport is in danger." Mourinho was unimpressed. "Wenger has a real problem with us and I think he is what you ca...

We have to show this. We have had a few nice atmospheres but I'm open for the best atmosphere. We need everybody in a Liverpool shirt in this game." Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on concerns over disrespectful chanting at the game: "In football we have some football tragedies, if you can say that, which is a big match that you lost, the mistake that some player did, this kind of thing, and you can make fun of it in a positive way. "But the human tragedy i...
