You can also watch the Showtime fight night preview programme at the top of this page from 1am BST, and here is my fight preview…
Pound-for-pound star Floyd Mayweather and rugged Argentine Marcos Maidana meet at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the iconic boxing coliseum which has housed Mayweather’s prize fights since 2007.
?I may have three fights after this, I?m really not sure. I don?t know what I?m going to do. But I can promise you this: Saturday, I?m going to give you guys what you want to see,? said Mayweather.
?It?s not going to be the same fight that I fought with Saul Canelo Alvarez; it?s not going to be the same fight that I fought with Robert Guerrero. It?s going to be a totally different fight. No game plan at all. I?m going to be right there.
