The lineup:

Floyd Mayweather vs Zab Judah (7 p.m.): This 2006 match marked the first time Mayweather would challenge for a welterweight world title.

Near the end of the 10th round, a brawl between the corners broke out after Judah hit Mayweather with a low blow, followed by a rabbit punch.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Márquez 2 (8 p.m.): Pacquiao’s second fight against Márquez marked the first time the Filipino fighter would challenge for a world title at junior lightweight. He was attempting to become the first Asian fighter to win world titles in four different weight classes.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto (9 p.m.): In his fight against Cotto, Pacquiao attempted to become the first fighter in boxing history to win a world title in seven different weight classes, while Cotto entered the bout making the second defense of his WBO welterweight title.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (10 p.m.): The event set records for the largest grossing live gate ($72 million) and the most pay-per-view buys (4.6 million) in combat sports history. The fight served as a unification bout, with Mayweather defending the WBA and WBC welterweight titles and Pacquiao defending the WBO title.
