Boxing fans across the country and their lawyers are calling the hyped-up fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr a fraud and want their money back, and then some.

An officer at a Philippine electric company has urged customers to turn off major appliances to help prevent outages that have recently plagued his province so people can watch the much-awaited fight between Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.

Manny Pacquiao has confirmed he is keen to face Floyd Mayweather as their long-awaited contest moves closer to becoming a reality.

Ricky Hatton’s lawyer has warned he will take legal action against Manny Pacquiao if the Filipino fighter reneges on a verbal contract to split the proceeds of their projected fight 50-50.
