Excitement is well and truly building. Ringsides tickets are going for the price of a small country and the rest of us are planning how to best see the night through so that we can enjoy vs Pacquiao to the fullest. Yes, the 'fight of the century' hype is in full flow. But one man is attempting to see past all that.
Peter Crouch has long since had a deserved reputation as being a footballer who is able to enjoy an odd joke or two. For example, his quip about being a virgin if he hadn't been a footballer has gone down in the cliché hall of fame at this stage.
The Stoke forward took to Twitter this week and turned his sharp comedic wit towards the fight everyone is looking forward to. We might pretend to turn our nose up at him for being a fair weather fan but we can all probably agree that he has a point.
Two days till I pay 20 quid and sleep through the entirety of the fight. 😁Excited . #MayweatherPacquiao pic.twitter.com/SPIJM7671j
