Baker Zach Yonson (R) and an assistant put finishing touches on a life-size 70-kg chocolate cake of local boxing icon Manny Pacquiao at a restaurant in Manila, Philippines May 2, 2015. From air-conditioned corporate boardrooms to steamy public gymnasiums, Filipinos are counting down the hours to Pacquiao's fight with undefeated American Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas. The world welterweight championship bout, which is being called the “fight of the century”, will bring the country to a standstill on Sunday and mark a rare period of unity for the poor Southeast Asian nation. The Pacquiao cake, which took two weeks to make, went on display on Saturday in Manila and slices will be given away after the bout. (Photo by Erik De Castro/Reuters)
