The highly anticipated face off this coming Saturday, May 2, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas involving Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is almost here.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather confidently tells the UK Mirror that he will win the May 2 fight against Pacquiao.

 "All I know how to do is win. I've no doubts the fight will deliver," he said. "The buzz around this fight is at an all time high, and I'm prepared to step in the ring and do what I do best come May 2."

Mayweather's training involves going to the gym nearly every day. He also goes for runs for at least five miles even after his daily workout, according to MLive. His training camp involves working with speed bag, hand pad training with his uncle Roger Mayweather, swimming laps at the pool, and 30 to 45 minutes daily session on a body bag. In preparation for the fight, he also went back to chopping woods, something he used to do as a young boy. He told MLive last month that, "I had to go back to where it all started."

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao's training usually starts with an early run and then continues at the gym in the afternoon to start his program for the day, according to the UK Daily Mail. Pacquaio's trainer, Freddie Roach, is busy fine tuning his champion's game plan against Mayweather in their upcoming fight. The boxer himself says his "road work out [is] increasing to high intensity" and shares that he loves it.

Manny told the LA Times that "boxing is his passion" and that he's prepared to fight Mayweather.

After Mayweather commented that the Filipino boxer was a "reckless fighter," Pacman countered with a quip calling the Money Man, "a materialistic person."

The highly anticipated boxing event was agreed upon a 60-40 split, with Mayweather having the bigger slice. It is believed that Mayweather could earn approximately $200 million for the fight.

The fight week will officially start on Tuesday and the fighters' titles will be on the line, according to NY Post. Mayweather will have his WBC welterweight and WBA super welterweight titles and Pacquiao's welterweight crown on the line. The winner of this dubbed "fight of the century" will be crowned as the best boxer of their time.

So Mayweather or Pacquiao, who will win?
