The world hasn’t been this excited about a sporting event in a very long time. With the rise of fighting like MMA, boxing has taken a backseat. But boxing is making a dramatic comeback with tonight’s much anticipated Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. With remaining floor seats selling for over $300,000, reports have come in that the fight will bring in over $400,000,000. And that doesn’t even include the money circulating from gambling. Mark Wahlberg is joining in on the excitement about tonight’s fight with a quarter million dollar bet . His $250,000 bet with P. Diddy is for a good cause. Mark put his bets on Pacquiao. If he wins, he is donating the money to charity. The list of celebs joining Wahlberg at the fight is both selective and impressive with stars such as Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Matt Damon, Michael J. Fox, Justin Bieber, 50 Cent, Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, Sylvester Stallone, and Jamie Foxx. Of course, this couldn’t come without a little drama. Justin Bieber, who is attending the fight has a strange friendship with Floyd Mayweather . And although he will be cheering on his friend from outside the ring, he started his own fight when Bieber told Selena Gomez to stay away from the boxing match . He should take a lesson from Mark Wahlberg and P. Diddy. Just watch the fight and make freaking charity bets. I don’t have a $250,000 bet. But I’ll join Mark and put my pocket change on Pacquiao too.
