The screenshot above is taken from the 30-second teaser released by Showtime for the epilogue of its Fight Camp 360°: Pacquiao vs Mosley TV special documenting the superfight between the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley last May 7, 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Shocking eh?
In the third round of their match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last May 7, Manny Pacquiao knocked down Shane Mosley with a devastating left hook sending the former three-division world champion into the canvas for only the third time of his illustrious 18-year career.
That punch seemingly drained Mosley’s power as he was in retreat mode for the rest of the fight.
It’s only 24 hours before fight time!
Both the Pacquiao and Mosley camps wrap up their training and proceed to the weigh-in and pre-fight press conference.
Their prize wards, Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley are now ready to face each other inside the ring in the pay-per-view boxing event of the year.
Ricky Hatton who was knocked-out by Pacquiao in 2009 makes a cameo. He sure is glad his face is still intact unlike Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito’s.
Manny Pacquiao’s last five fights were on HBO Pay-Per-View, averaging over 1 million sales making him along with rival Floyd Mayweather Jr., the biggest attraction in the sport.
Yet, for the first time since the Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo II bout in 2005, Showtime and CBS will promote, produce and distribute the May 7, 2011 pay-per-view bout between pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley.
This was made possible due to promoter Bob Arum’s desire to return the sport of boxing to network television before he retires. By putting many of the promotional materials for the fight on CBS, Arum will reach an audience of 115 million television households.
