Fans to be charged to attend Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao weigh-in

Fans will reportedly be charged for the first time to attend a weigh-in as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr prepare to hit the scales next Friday.

Fans will reportedly be charged to attend next Friday's weigh-in between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao due to the expected influx of people.

It will be the first time that spectators will have to pay to see two fighters on the scales, but it is believed that the decision has been made for safety reasons as opposed to financial.

The May 2 bout is being deemed one of the biggest fights of this era, and reports have claimed that around 200,000 people will arrive in Las Vegas next week ahead of the clash at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

According to the Daily Mail, money taken from the weigh-in will be donated to charities chosen by Mayweather and Pacquiao.

The boxers will need to reach a weight of no more than 10st 7lbs.
