Your support makes all the difference.Floyd Mayweather's choice of Andre Berto for his supposed final opponent on 12 September has been met with much criticism from fans.
Britain's Amir Khan and Kell Brook, the IBF welterweight champion plus Keith Thurman and even middleweight king Gennady Golovkin were all hoped for by boxing enthusiasts but instead welterweight Mayweather, 38, will take on Berto, who has lost three of his last six fights.
It will be the final bout of the unbeaten Mayweather's six-fight deal with broadcasters ShowTime, and the man known as 'Money' has also said that he would retire after the deal.
Should he win, Mayweather will match Rocky Marciano's record of 49 successive victories in his professional career.
