Mayweather vs Pacquiao referee is Kenny Bayless, ringside judges are also announced

The "Fight of the Century" will be in capable hands.

ESPN announced today that one of the most prolific and capable referees in boxing, Kenny Bayless, will preside over the upcoming superfight between Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather. In addition, should the Welterweight championship match go the distance on May 2, 2015, the three men standing in judgment will be veteran judges Burt Clements, Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman.

Both fighters should be familiar with Bayless, who refereed Mayweather's fight with "Canelo" Saul Alvarez and his first bout with Marcos Maidana, as well as Pacquiao's most recent fights against Juan Manuel Marquez and Timothy Bradley.
