Manny Pacquiao will be inside the weight limit at Friday's weigh-in and could stay there come fight night.

Sky sources report the Filipino is set to be as light as 4lbs under the 147lbs boundary ahead of his showdown with Floyd Mayweather, live on Sky Sports Box Office on Saturday night

Pacquiao has never had an issue with weight in any of the eight divisions he has won a title.

Trainer Freddie Roach has also revealed his fighter has had 12 blood tests in the build-up to a bout being dubbed the 'fight of the century', which was a big concern that prevented the two best fighters in the world facing each other back in 2010.

The latest from Las Vegas is that Pacquiao has given away £2.5m worth of fight tickets to friends, family and his entourage.

"We all know how difficult tickets are to come by, so these people that have got their hands on one really have got the golden ticket," said Sky Sports reporter Andy Scott.
