The Floyd Mayweather Jr - Manny Pacquiao fight will happen in a few hours. This is the fight many boxing fans have been waiting for and now, their dream is about to come true. Although there is only few hours left before the "Fight of the Century", fans need to be patient because of some broadcast glitches, something that has happened before in Pacquiao's fight.
Several news sites wrote that the Floyd Mayweather Jr - Manny Pacquiao fight might be delayed for a little bit because of another sporting event that will take place few hours before the highly requested boxing match. SB Nation wrote the fight between the undefeated American lightweight fighter and the eight-division champion might have to give way if ever the NBA playoffs Game 7 match between Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs overrun the boxing match's time slot.
"Basketball and boxing fans may have to make a tough decision between watching the historic Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight and the Clippers-Spurs playoff game. The good news is the two guys fighting are basketball fans, too.
After the Clippers' Game 6 win Thursday night, one of the most thrilling first-round series in recent memory is headed to a decisive seventh game. That matchup is set to tip at 8 p.m ET on Saturday. Mayweather-Pacquiao could begin as early as 11 p.m. ET, with HBO and Showtime only putting three undercards on the fight to ensure the best start time for the Fight of the Century. If Game 7 goes to overtime -- or the undercards go quickly -- there could be a conflict."
Three years ago against Timothy Bradley, Pacquiao's camp made sure their guy will not step on the ring unless the Eastern Conference finals between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat gets finished.
