In the hours leading up to the big Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. battle against Juan Manuel Marquez at MGM Grand Garden Arena, hip-hop mogul Sean “P.Diddy” Combs played host for an afternoon of fun in the sun at MGM Grand’s Wet Republic.

Dressed in his whites and evoking memories of his own famous White Party events in Manhattan, St. Bart’s and the French Riviera, Diddy was surrounded by lovely ladies. There was a crowd of his Ciroc cuties promoting his vodka, and the hot Hawaiian Tropic beauties splashed nearby.

Diddy leads a contingent of celebrities into the Grand Garden Arena for the big fight tonight, with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Wilmer Valderrama among the TV and movie stars. In addition, a battalion of boxers including Evander Holyfield, Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy “Hitman” Hearns will be in the house.

Vegas DeLuxe will have the full ring-action photo report tomorrow, but we’ll post fight decision photos later this evening and tweet instantly in real time the result as the expected ring mayhem ensues. I’m at Twitter.com/robin_leach.
