It's nearly here - not long to go now until the richest fight in boxing history, the super-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas, but where should your money go? Here are some of the best bets.

The welterweight contest at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is expected to generate more than £300m for the pair, with the split going 60/40 in Mayweather's favour.

Unbeaten Mayweather, 38, is an 11-time, five-weight world champion, while the Filipino Pacquiao, 36, has won versions of the world title at a record eight different weights.

Not counting the free shot against Victor Ortiz in 2011, Mayweather has not had a legitimate knock-out since beating Ricky Hatton back in December 2007. You can get odds as high as 13/2 on Mayweather to win by KO, TKO or DQ.

For Pacquio to shock the world and win by a first-round knockout, that's 80/1.

For those two and more, watch the five best bets video on the fight below...
