Preface: An edited version of this piece was originally published by Maxim on April 24th, 2015—just prior to Floyd Mayweather’s historic clash with Manny Pacquiao. At the time, Mayweather was 47-0, but he has since added the names of Pacquiao and Andre Berto to his resume, along with two more victories. Now, after two years of retirement, Mayweather returns to take on UFC champ Conor McGregor, an odd way to get to 50-0, or a humiliating way to suffer his first loss? As the fight approaches, Bloody Elbow gives you this piece in its original, expanded form.
