WATCH: the battle of the anthem singers - Lady Gaga vs Jamie Foxx
Two Grammy winners. The most expensive sports TV events on earth. The American Superbowl and the Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao classic clash. Who sung the anthem better?
The singing of a country's anthem at sports events is often a moment of national pride, which is why a then-unknown Ras Dumisani would go down in rugby history as 'that guy that butchered South Africa's national anthem' at the 2009 SA vs France test.
With the hype around the Superbowl 50 in the US, a lot of the attention may well have gone towards the Beyoncé-Coldplay-Bruno Mars halftime show, but it was Lady Gaga who also stole the show with her rendition of America's 'Star Spangled Banner'.
It is in this spirit that a battle has been generated between Lady Gaga and Jamie Foxx who sang this iconic anthem at the highest grossing boxing fight ever: the 2015 Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao encounter.
