In 46 days, the biggest fight in the history takes place as we get the long-awaited fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. It looks like Mayweather is going all out to make sure he has the best chace to beat "Pac-Man".

We seen on Monday that "Money" was chopping wood and channeling his inner Rocky Balboa. Now Mayweather is going all out in another area.

TMZ Sports first reported that Mayweather will be using Chef Q, who is based out of Las Vegas to cook all his meals leading up to the fight. Mayweather will be paying her $1,000 a plate. 

"My daily schedule for Floyd is, there is no schedule," Chef Q said to TMZ Sports. "I am here for him anytime. 24 hours, 7 days a week. If he needs me at 3am, I am there cooking up breakfast."

She says Mayweather wants to focus on eating high amounts of protein with no carbs.

"His favorite dish is spaghetti or tacos," Chef Q said. "But for the Pacquiao fight, he'll be focusing on high-levels of protein with no carbs, turkey, chicken, beef and fish ... NO PORK!

"Also, we are really big on juicing right now. So if Floyd wants something to drink, it's juiced through organic fruits."

If you add it up and Mayweather eats the normal three meals a day, then he will be paying Chef Q, $138,000.

That is a lot of of money just for the meals, but she stated to TMZ Sports that she normally doesn't charge that high of a price, but Mayweather "felt my dishes were worth that much."
