Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Justin Bieber Reveals He'll Escort 'Money' at Fight

Pop singer Justin Bieber states he'll be part of the entourage walking Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the ring when he faces off with Manny Pacquiao at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 2.

TMZ Sports received confirmation from Bieber:

"

Bieber has accompanied Floyd to the ring before -- they've been close friends for years -- but due to the magnitude and importance of this fight, people were wondering if Floyd would go at it alone this time.

But when we got Bieber leaving Bar 20 in West Hollywood last night (he's 21 now!) ... JB told us you can count on him escorting Mayweather to his corner on May 2nd.

"

Bieber has been hanging around Mayweather for a while now, and has already escorted 'Money' to the ring for several fights, so the announcement shouldn't come as a major surprise. He even appeared during the photo op following a press conference featuring both fighters earlier this month.

Now he'll get prime positioning for the fight sports fans have been waiting several years to see.
