The third man revealed. The referee for Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao is decided

REFEREE Kenny Bayless will be the third man in the ring when Floyd Mayweather boxes Manny Pacquiao on May 2 at the MGM Grand.

Bert Clements, Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman will be the judges for the fight of the century.

Bayless is no stranger to refereeing either Mayweather or Pacquiao. He was the man in the middle for Floyd’s last fight, the rematch with Marcos Maidana. Bayless was the referee when Pacquiao avenged his controversial points loss to Tim Bradley and also oversaw Juan Manuel Marquez’s astonishing knockout win over Manny in 2012.

Incidentally Bayless was also the referee in 1996, at the Texas Station Casino in Las Vegas, when Floyd Mayweather made his debut.
