Our hometown hero Floyd Mayweather Jr. ended his 2007 retirement last night with a unanimous victory over Juan Manuel Marquez at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Our contributing photographers Tom Donoghue and Erik Kabik were on hand to capture the ringside, behind-the-scenes and party action for our Vegas DeLuxe photo galleries.

Floyd celebrated his win with a party at Studio 54, and you’d never have guessed an hour earlier, he’d just gone 12 rounds in the ring! As expected, music mogul Sean “P.Diddy” Combs joined the party, along with Tyrese Gibson, who sang the national anthem before the fight, and Ray J -- and proving the family is back together again, even dad Floyd Mayweather Sr. joined in the fun!
