'All Roads End On May 2': Watch Mayweather-Pacquiao Official Fight Commercial [VIDEO]
The official fight commercial for the fight of the century between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao has been released. The once-in-a-lifetime, epic bout between Mayweather and Pacquiao will take place at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 2.
The 30-second video spot showcases how massive the May 2 epic showdown between two of the world’ greatest welterweight fighters will be. “It’s time, two legends, one destiny - all roads end here,” it said on the video.
According to a press release, the video was shot after Mayweather and Pacquiao’s press conference at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California on March 11. It was a “creative collaboration” amongst Mayweather Promotions, Showtime Pay-Per-View, Top Rank and HBO Pay-Per-View.
“It serves as the lynchpin to an aggressive multimedia marketing campaign that will take place in the next four weeks,” the statement said. “The overall Mayweather vs. Pacquiao marketing campaign is expected to receive unprecedented levels of support from pay-per-view providers.”
Both Mayweather and Pacquiao are in the midst of their respective training camps with less than a month until the richest bout in the history of boxing. Both fighters have been sharing pictures and videos from their training camps to keep their supporters updated with their preparations for the highly anticipated mega-buck fight.
In addition to the regular training regimen, which involves the usual sparring and hitting the bags, Mayweather recently posted a video of his swimming training ahead of the fight. The undefeated American fighter shared a clip of himself taking his cardiovascular workout to the swimming pool. Pacquiao’s former strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza was also seen in the video.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao’s training camp also intensifies to make sure that he will be in spotless condition ahead of his highly anticipated fight against Mayweather. The only eight-division Filipino world champion continues to train at the Wild Card Boxing Gym in Los Angeles.
Until Pacquiao holds his media day on April 15, no media will be granted access inside the gym. Pacquiao was quoted as saying in an article by Philstar.com that the reason why they are shutting the media off the facility where he is currently training is because he wanted to concentrate for the biggest fight of his life. Even the media people from Pacquiao’s native Philippines weren’t allowed to conduct interviews.
