Sure it wouldn't be a fight without Justin Bieber.

We thought we were hallucinating from the lack of sleep but, no, it turns out Biebz was there and, yes, Mr Burger King was also following Floyd Mayweather around pre-fight. Jaysus, how much money do these guys make? Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were determined to prove that they aren't just all about the boxing as both fighters engaged in some baffling rituals before the action. In their walk-ins alone, the stars of the Fight of the Century had some strange personalities by their sides. We thought it was all just a bit of craic to start with. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/594711139260473345 https://twitter.com/SBNation/status/594715445007142912 But then we noticed Jimmy Kimmel following Pacquiao out, blinged up to the nineties with a t-shirt of PacMan eating Floyd Mayweather heads. Good intentions anyway. https://twitter.com/Lmao/status/594735255237435393 Over on planet Mayweather though, things weren't any more ordinary. Because it wouldn't be an entourage without Justin Bieber acting a tough guy at your shoulder. https://twitter.com/JBCrewdotcom/status/594728792465211392 And it wouldn't be a walk-in without the Burger King king following you around. https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/594711444182138880 Yep, that actually happened. https://twitter.com/AnnaKendrick47/status/594723033304051712 And if it all wasn't quite in keeping in tone with the evening, the good folk at the MGM Grand were kind enough to play the Mexican National Anthem before the fight. You know, for the American and the Filipino. https://twitter.com/Datoism/status/594726543290564608 Oh, and, if all that wasn't enough, Jamie Foxx - yep, Jamie Foxx - was there to save the day. https://twitter.com/mashentertain/status/594708636779323392
