No Pacquiao vs Mayweather on May 5, this was revealed upon Mayweather's statement against the Nevada State Athletic Commision and will be at MGM Grand in Las Vegas during a hearing to obtain his license for boxing in the state of nevada. 


Miguel Cotto ( 37-2, 30KOs) the current WBA Junior Middleweight King who defeated Yuri Foreman in june 2010 to grab the championship belt and knock out Antonio Margarito last year will be fighting at the 150-pounds above for the 3rd time since being defeated by Manny Pacquiao at catch weight 145 year 2009. 

Shane Mosley statement about the upcoming bout 

“Cotto is no slouch,” Mosley said in an interview with Boxing Scene. “Cotto can fight as well, and Mayweather better take him very seriously.”

“It’s a great fight. Floyd has the better boxing skills, but Cotto is no slouch. If you take Cotto for granted, then something else can happen and he could be the victor of that fight,” he added.

Cotto is coming off a victory against Antonio Margarito and took the bout against Mayweather instead of accepting a rematch against Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao.
