With all the talk in the past year about Pacquiao and Mayweather, we’re finally getting closer to fight night. This highly anticipated match up is said to be the most expensive fight in history. As we get closer to witnessing history on May 2nd the World Boxing Council revealed some very exiting news for boxing fans and sports enthusiasts. The WBC has decided to create a brand new championship belt for the winner. The president of the WBC and his marketing team were urging fans to vote on two different designs for their belt. The two belts were made of different themes and colours. One WBC belt was designed with an “Onyx” theme while the other belt was an “emerald” theme. Both belts were said to be worth nearly $1 million dollars as each belt was forged of fine leather and rare materials. This treasured belt is an added bonus to the winner of the fight which Mayweather is expected to take home $180 million and Pacquiao expected to receive $120 million.
With much at stake for both contenders, the president of the WBC thought it was appropriate to award the winner of the match with a new memorable and ornamented belt. Being that both contenders come from a very extensive background in boxing, this fight is a historical moment as Pacquiao and Mayweather are possibly the best fighters of all time to have come this far in their careers.
“It came in a good moment and it will be an emotive event. Both are obviously putting their legacy at stake, to prove who is the best, satisfying an enormous created expectance. They are also competing to be considered one of the best 10 fighters in the entire boxing history.” -WBC president Mauiricio Sulaiman. As a large number of votes came in to the WBC website, a brand new title was chosen to represent the World Champion and the World Boxing Council. With 53% of the votes, the emerald designed belt was chosen to represent the champion on May 2nd at the MGM Grand Arena. The belt will showcase their own faces on gold badges along with encrusted emeralds embellishing the inner core of the belts design. The WBC announced the results of the votes going on to say “After an intense voting week, fans have ruled that the Winner of MEGA FIGHT between Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao, will triumphantly hold aloft…the Emerald belt! This exquisite masterpiece is especially designed by the World Boxing Council, for a unique bout that is already gracing the pages of Boxing History. In order to appropriately recognise the Winner of this titanic and epic event on May 2nd, emeralds have triumphed.” The WBC was very grateful that they received a large array of fans that participated on their website to cast their vote. With much at stake for this fight, we still have to wait until May 2nd to see who will be crowned victor and take home the large crash price along with the new WBC championship belt. Mayweather and Pacquiao will not only be fighting for crown jewels and a big pot of money but to take home the biggest award of all, The World Champion and Boxing Legend.
