The biggest fight in the history of boxing takes place this Saturday as Manny Pacquiao bids to be the first man ever to beat Floyd Mayweather.
The pair will meet in Las Vegas for the scrap which has been billed as the ‘richest fight in history’ and is expected to earn the two fighters a combined $300 million.
Tickets were sold out within a minute of going on public sale, with some companies then offering tickets for as much as £94,000 just moments after they had all been released.
