Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao was a televised show produced by television networks HBO and Showtime.
On September 10, 2005, Pacquiao knocked Hctor Velzquez out in six rounds at Staples Center in Los Angeles to capture the WBC International super-featherweight title, which he went on to defend five times
 Serious negotiations were kickstarted in 2014 by an unlikely source: a Hollywood waiter and part-time actor, Gabriel Salvador, made a key introduction between Pacquiao's trainer and confidant Freddie Roach and CBS President Les Moonves, who both worked to facilitate the match
