While expected, it was still nice to see that this week that the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Keith “One Time” Thurman was made official for July 20 in Las Vegas, to air on PPV. Pacquiao may not be what he once was (and is definitely not good enough to beat Spence or Crawford at welterweight) but he is still good enough that most people view this as a 50-50 fight, and still famous enough that this fight should sell well. This will also mark the first time in four years that Thurman will fight more than once in a calendar year, a fact that led to an ironic mocking of his “one time” nickname on boxing message boards.
