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.

What happens if Manchester United win the Europa League & finish in the top four?

Due to Champions League qualification clubs are now looking more favourably at the Europa League competition. So Manchester United will naturally be gunning for glory as they take on Celta Vigo in their semi final. If however, they win the tournament and finish the English Premier League in the top four, England will have just the four teams in Europe’s elite competition. What I find more interesting is if Manchester United win the Europa League and finish outside the top four! Should this scenario occur, England will have FIVE entrants to the Champions League, rather than four – with United joining the top four Premier League clubs. There are a host of different scenarios as to who will be in Europe's second tier next season. For starters, the Premier League's fifth-placed club - should United not win the Europa League AND finish outside the top four - will go into the pot. Then there's the EFL Cup - or League Cup - winners... however that ...

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 ...
