LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao weighed in below the welterweight limit Friday before a packed arena of screaming, singing fans anticipating the landmark bout.
One day before Mayweather and Pacquiao finally meet in the richest event in boxing history, they took the stage in an MGM Grand arena filled with boxing fans enjoying the public's best chance to see the fighters in person.
A beaming Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) stepped on the scales first and weighed in at 145 pounds -- two below the welterweight limit.
Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) followed and weighed in at 146 pounds.
The fighters betrayed few emotions in their staredown.
Sections of the crowd roared and booed for both fighters, although the majority appeared to support Pacquiao, who raised both arms to the crowd.
