Mayweather and Pacquiao promise to deliver on hype

LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao weighed in for what has been labeled the 'Fight of the Century' on Friday, promising to deliver on the massive hype and give fans the excitement they deserve. What had been a subdued buildup to the most anticipated fight in decades exploded to life when Pacquiao and then Mayweather entered the MGM Grand Garden Arena to thumping hip hop music and deafening cheers from a seething crowd of 11,500, some of whom had waited three hours for a glimpse of the two boxers. Pacquiao, 57-5-2 (38 knockouts) looking relaxed and confident, weighed in one pound lighter than the undefeated Mayweather 47-0 (26 KOs), tipping the scales at 145 pounds for Saturday's bout. Their meeting is expected to be the biggest grossing prize fight of all-time. - Reuters
