Mayweather V Pacquiao: World braced for desert storm

In the middle of the utter chaos of every Las Vegas fight week, there is always an hour or so of excruciating boredom. This hour is so tedious it is almost comical.

It comes two or three days before the two men meet in the ring in what is ominously labelled The Final Press Conference.

However, this is not a press conference as we know it; there are no questions and no stories come of it. Indeed, the press might as well not be there.
