The Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight is just a couple weeks away, and both fighters are training hard for the match. Mayweather has opted to not just work-out his fighting skills, but to also prepare his entire body by following a healthy diet.  

TMZ has claimed that Mayweather is willing to pay over $1000 per plate to prepare for his fight with Manny Pacquiao on May 2, 2015. The champion boxer seems to have no problem with the cost, especially since he will be taking home over $150 million from the fight against the Filipino fighter. 

Latino Post calculates that it will cost the fighter around $184,000, as the match is only 46 days away. The site reports that Chef Q, also known as Quiana Jefferies, is the lucky chef Mayweather has hired to serve all his meals leading to the fight.  

TMZ reports that Chef Q did not charge $1000 per plate rate. It was actually Mayweather who deemed that Chef Q's meals are worth $1000. She is to be his private chef presumably until the fight. 

She tells TMZ, "My daily schedule for Floyd is 'There is no schedule'...I am here for him anytime. 24 hours, 7 days a week. If he needs me at 3am, I am there cooking up breakfast." 

"The Money" is apparently taking the fight with the Pacman seriously. In fact, he has willingly given up his beloved fast food in order to get into shape, particularly his favorite Fatburger. The boxer champ still has cravings for fast food, but is determined to stay healthy until the match.  

Even Chef Q seems to notice that her boss is taking a different approach to preparing for the fight on May 2. She says, "He's always been mindful of what he eats but there is something different about this fight." 

Chef Q states that Mayweather is sticking to healthy fresh foods that are made from scratch. According to Latino Post, she says, "Nothing from bottles or cans because they have different preservatives that are not healthy for your body. His favorite dish is spaghetti or tacos but for the Pacquiao fight, he'll be focusing on high-levels of protein with no carbs - turkey, chicken, beef, and fish... NO PORK!" 

Mayweather has also started drinking plenty of juice in preparation for the fight. Of course, like everything that he will be consuming, the juice he drinks is natural and fresh. Chef Q says, "Also, we are really big on juicing right now. So if Floyd wants something to drink, it's juiced through organic fruits." 

The fight will take place at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, reports Latino Post. TFM suggests that tickets will probably be quite expensive, with the cheapest seats selling for $1,500 each.
