Nobody knows exactly what to expect when Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto meet in the ring this evening, but we definitely knew that the scene surrounding Mayweather’s final bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas would be a raucous one. Celebrities, athletes and boxing royalty alike have been arriving at the MGM Grand Arena for the fight all evening long. Here are some of the best tweets from those arrivals and folks at the arena for the final fight of Floyd Mayweather’s legendary career.
Needless to say, both of the fighters are ready.

Bryan Altman is, for some reason, an unabashed fan of the Rangers, Jets and Mets. If he absolutely had to pick a basketball team it would be the Knicks, but he’d gladly trade them for just one championship for either of his other three teams.
