Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao were finally together Tuesday night (Wednesday Morning in Manila). At a Miami Heat game, that is. Mayweather had a courtside seat next to the Heat bench, directly across from Pacquiao's seat on the opposite sideline for a game against the Bucks. The two fighters may be getting closer to a long anticipated bout that would be the richest ever in boxing — potentially grossing as much as $250 million. [via Tim Reynolds / AP]
