Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have finally been pictured together - at an NBA basketball game last night.
It is reportedly the first time the pair of boxing icons have ever met in person, despite eternal speculation over a long-awaited welterweight fight between Filipino Pacquiao and American Mayweather.
A deal has yet to be agreed on the fight but 36-year-old 'Pacman', the WBO belt holder, says he swapped numbers with the 37-year-old WBC and WBA champion.
It is expected that if an agreement is reached, the bout will be the biggest of all time with a monstrous purse of $300M.
"He gave his number to me and said we will communicate with each other," Pacquiao said afterwards at the Miami Heat game, according to the BBC.
Pacquiao and Mayweather are widely considered to be the two best fighters of their generation.
