The
private jet terminal at McCarren International Airport was so packed
Saturday night before the $300million showdown that it actually closed
to more incoming planes.
Among
some of the late arrivals were the star members of the New England
Patriots, who left the Kentucky Derby early to make it to the boxing
match in time.

The private jet terminal at Las Vegas'
McCarren International Airport was packed Saturday night right before
the highly anticipated boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr and
Manny Pacquiao
The tarmac was so packed with private planes that the terminal shut down at one point to more arriving private aircraft

fight Saturday night
Shortly after
Mayweather won the fight, Donald Trump's private 757 plane was seen
taking off from McCarren on an eastbound journey
And
right after Mayweather was crowned victor, Donald Trump's private jet
was seen on flight tracking radar leaving Sin City in the early hours of
Sunday morning.
Nick
Woodhouse, president of Authentic Brands Group took a picture of the
packed tarmac before the fight Saturday night. Cuban-American musician
Emilio Estefan posted a similar picture of the terminal from the
ground.
Among
the celebrities who attended the fight are Jay Z and Beyonce, Mark
Wahlberg, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jimmy Kimmel, Nicki Minaj and Justin
Bieber.
The star members of the New England
Patriots - including quarterback Tom Brady - took a private jet to
attend both the Kentucky Derby and the boxing match in one day
It
is estimated a worldwide audience of 400million - including thousands
of people in Pacquiao's hometown in the Phillapines - tuned in to watch
American Mayweather earn victory with a unanimous points decision in
front of a star-studded crowd in Las Vegas.
Mayweather stands to pocket upwards of $180million from the super fight, while Pacquiao will take home around $120million.
After
a build-up of almost five years, the pair took to the ring at the MGM
Grand on Saturday night and battled through a closely-fought 12 rounds,
with little separating them.
But it was the American who came out on top at the end of the multi-million dollar spectacle.
The
beaten Filipino, 36, has since blamed his defeat on a shoulder injury
and said he wanted to have an injection before the fight but the Nevada
Athletic Commission refused.
