With less than four days until the ‘Fight of the Century’ between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, fan excitement is reaching a boiling point. The latest video to add to that anticipation is that of the undefeated Mayweather’s arrival at the MGM Grand on Tuesday evening.

‘Money’ arrived to a packed house full of screaming fans as well as the SU marching band. It was certainly a grand arrival for one of boxing’s biggest stars this generation. The star thanked fans in attendance for coming out, as well as his “supporting cast” before stepping off the stage to another round of applause.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is scheduled to take place May 2nd at the MGM Grand. Verizon Fios, DirecTV, and Time Warner Cable are charging $100 to watch the night’s boxing bouts in high definition on average.
