The banquet will be held at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday evening.
Sunday World can exclusively reveal that Mayweather is not a fussy international celebrity because some of his ‘rider’ requests was only to have his chicken served grilled and well with a green salad.
Mayweather arrived fresh from Zimbabwe where he attended a political event.
