When Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao get into the ring on Sunday morning, two of the world’s best boxers will go toe-to-toe.
It is rare having two all-time greats fighting in the same weight division at the same time and the boxing world is lapping it up.
The so-called “fight of the century” will be one of sport’s most lucrative events ever.
You see boxing needed something to make it grab the public’s attention after a recent decline.
From the price of resale tickets to the amount of people signing up to pay per view deals, everywhere you look there are records being broken.
We guess that’s what you get when an undefeated fighter goes up against a champion of six weight divisions.
Five years of negotiations have helped bump the figures up too.
But what if this huge spectacle doesn’t help the sport retain its appeal and its legacy fails to produce?
Earlier this week Newsbeat went to meet George Turner. He works with young offenders and disadvantaged people in south west London.
The youth project uses methods, such as boxing, as an engagement tool.
“We try and create a positive community and we try to help them be the best they can be,” explained George.
Based on an estate, his white bricked boxing gym is a far cry from the bright dazzling lights of Las Vegas.
“People will watch the weekend’s fight on television and all of a sudden they’ll want to be the next Floyd Mayweather so they’ll start coming down to the gym.”
All positive, but I start to sense a “but” from George…
“There is a negative effect as well.
“We’re connected to amateur boxing and amateur boxing and professional boxing are two very different animals.
“Professional boxing is a business and in my opinion amateur boxing is a sport and you see quite a lot of negative behaviour coming out of professional boxing.
“Derek Chisora and David Haye rolling around on the floor fighting, and Floyd Mayweather’s had quite a few negatives – I think people tend to judge boxing by things like that.”
As I chat to George, lads move around the gym. Some skipping, others punching bags, with large thuds echoing around the room.
They mean business here.
While George can see the positives of Sunday’s super fight there is a fear Mayweather v Pacquiao will be a one-off.
The sport needs consistency after years of turmoil, with no single governing body and growing competition from mixed martial arts.
“Something like this does attract more people through the door, but we have to make sure we are looking at the positives and focussing on controlling emotions.”
On the wall next to a cardboard box full of boxing gloves is a pin board of photographs.
Most of them show Manny Pacquiao. He once visited George and his project here.
A wide smile stretches across George’s face.
“He was very humble and had time for everybody.”
No surprise, he’s backing him for the win.
Win or lose, the “PacMan” will walk away with around ?85m. I remind George of that and ask him about the money situation when he tells me amateur coaches he knows work for free.
“Most of the kids we are working with can’t believe the coaches aren’t getting paid.
“Lots of amateur boxing coaches lose money because they’re paying out expenses but they do it for the love of the sport.
“It frustrates me to some extent but I also think if you did offer money you would attract the wrong type of person.”
Its clear from Newsbeat’s hour with George that he adores the sport.
While this fight might be good for the sport at first glance, we’re left thinking there’s more to be done to find the next Floyd or Manny.
“One thing that is really positive is both of the boxers have shown you can come from nothing and work your way to the top.
“That shows what this sport can do.”
