New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to be among those in attendance for the upcoming Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao fight, according to Greg Bishop of Sports Illustrated.
Brady reportedly appealed directly to CBS president Leslie Moonves for a ringside seat.
As for who he'll be rooting for, Brady's allegiance appears to be with Mayweather. The two were caught FaceTiming each other in March:
