7 ET: Watch Mayweather's LIVE training session from Las Vegas

The Money Team curtain is being pulled back.

Five-division world champion –- and incumbent two-belt welterweight kingpin -– Floyd Mayweather Jr. will participate in an open workout at his Mayweather Boxing Club on Tuesday, providing a glimpse at his preparation for the May 2 unification match with Manny Pacquiao.
CBSSports.com will LIVE stream the event at 7 p.m. EST. Pacquiao is scheduled for his own open workout on Wednesday, which CBSSports.com will also have available via LIVE stream.
"This is an unbelievable matchup," Mayweather said at the press conference that officially announced the fight last month. "I've never wanted to win a fight so bad in my life."
No formal press events are scheduled between now and fight week, so the fighters are unlikely to go face-to-face until then. Team Pacquiao has taken the verbal lead, primarily in the form of veteran trainer Freddie Roach, in what's been fairly docile verbal sparring between the camps.
Roach said at the opening press conference that Pacquiao would "kick his ass," and has made intermittent remarks since then suggesting that Mayweather's been beaten up in sparring sessions ad suggesting that potential Pacquiao sparring partners have been steered away by Mayweather's advisers.
Mayweather, on the other hand, has been relatively silent throughout the build-up, but he's never more than a microphone's length away from creating headlines of his own.

Boxing-Mayweather has last public appearance ahead of megafight

Flanked by his own camp and the media, the 38-year-old went through a workout at his Mayweather Boxing Club in what was the last scheduled public appearance in advance of his fight against Manny Pacquiao on May 2.
The welterweight bout, which has been five years in the making, is the richest in boxing history.
Mayweather and Pacquiao faced off for a press conference last month but have since retreated to their separate camps to prepare for the highly anticipated clash.
Pacquiao will hold his own public workout on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Mayweather's showing was a light effort built for show and he did not do much talking as he worked the speed bag but occasionally offered words to his camp.
Surrounded by photographers, Mayweather delivered body shots to a sparring partner who wore body armour but did not throw any punches back. He then worked a body bag and seamlessly went through a series of light exercises.
"I've seen (Mayweather) do things (in the ring) without looking. He just knows, and he has a sense and a feel for things," said Mayweather's strength coach Alex Ariza.
Ariza formerly worked with Pacquiao and cannot see the Filipino beating Mayweather.
"Unless (Pacquiao) has a dramatic difference in how (he has prepared himself in the past) I can't see anything different. I see the same routine."
