Justin Beiber and Jamie Foxx get ready for the #FightoftheCentury at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Beyonce and husband Jay Z along with Niki Minaj were in attendance. Looks like the ladies dressed up for a red carpet night but landed up at a boxing rink. 

For Drew Barrymore and her husband, it was a #datenight. Love their casual look.

Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West got another reason to call friends over for a house party.

Maybe LA doesn’t see a lot of boxing. Maybe the fighters were paid 1 million$ a minute. Maybe Hollywood is a sucker for boxing. Who knows?! We’re still wondering what the big fuss was all about!
