MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE, round-by-round coverage of the Welterweight championship clash below, which is expected to start around midnight.

Mayweather (47-0, 26 KO) last tasted defeat in the 1996 Olympic Games, where a blatant robbery left him with a bronze medal instead of a gold. While he's had some close calls as a professional -- most notably in his first bout with the venerable Jose Luis Castillo -- he's been effectively flawless since, effortlessly dismantling some of the best fighters of multiple generations.

Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KO) has torn through eight different weight classes in his illustrious career, leaving several legends of the sport in battered heaps along the way. In 2012, however, he suffered consecutive losses for the first time in his career, losing a contentious decision to Tim Bradley and suffering a crushing knockout loss to eternal rival Juan Manuel Marquez. Still, he's won three straight since and it's impossible to overstate his accomplishments.
