Both the Golden Boy Oscar De la Hoya and Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather Jr will have their grand arrival at the lobby of the MGM Grand on Tuesday, May 1, according to Magna Media International.

But before that, at 9AM on Tuesday, the Media Center of "The World Awaits" opens at the Studio A and B of the MGM Grand. This is expected to be the most elaborate media center ever for any boxing event.

At exactly 11:30AM, the iconic Floyd Mayweather Jr will make the grandest arrival in his career together with his entourage.

De la Hoya will then make his grand arrival also at the same MGM Grand lobby at 12:15 PM.

Mayweather is then scheduled to do a public workout at 1:30PM at Las Vegas' Mayweather Boxing Club along Schiff Drive.

Two undefeated Filipinos--Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista and AJ 'Bazooka' Banal--made their grand arrival today at the MGM Grand.

They will duke it out against Sergio Manuel Medina and Juan Alberto Rosas, respectively, on the undercard of the biggest boxing spectacle in the history of the sport.

"The World Awaits" is set to fire off at 6PM on Saturday, and the whole world will be watching.
