Sports stars come out to watch #PacquiaoThurman
MANILA, Philippines — It's easy to draw a crowd into the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas whenever Manny Pacquiao has a fight and his showdown with American Keith Thurman was no different.
Among the 14,000-strong sellout crowd were high profile sports personalities.
Just like his fight against Adrien Broner, retired boxer Floyd Mayweather caught the fight ringside and exited the venue as soon as the bout had finished.

#PacquiaoThurman is tonight, it’s an honor to see the fight live. These are the closest odds I’ve seen for a boxing match, help me out, who do you have, #Pacquiao or #Thurman?
