Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The vote is in, and it is unanimous! A massive 73% of independent.co.uk readers have voted in favour of Manny Pacquiao for the fight against Floyd Mayweather, in what has been described as 'the fight of the century'.
The welterweight clash will be most lucrative fight in boxing history, with the combined purse for the bout expected to top $300m (£201m).
Unbeaten Mayweather, 38, is an 11-time, five-weight world champion, while the Filipino Pacquiao, 36, has won versions of the world title at a record eight different weights.
WBA and WBC welterweight titleist Mayweather's record stands at 47-0, while WBO champion Pacquiao has lost five of his 64 fights, with two draws.
"I've never been defeated. I don't know what it means or feels like to lose. But once a boxer experiences that the doubt will always be in his mind," Mayweather said in the build-up.
