Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto

Floyd Mayweather Jr
With Floyd Mayweather Jr. free and clear to fight with the blessing of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, it was announced that ’Money’ will be facing Miguel Cotto on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Not sure how good of a fight this will be ( I think most would’ve preferred for this to happen in 2006 or 2007) but this is a match-up between two of the three biggest pay-per-view franchises in the boxing industry. It will do robust business.

What I found interesting is that the press release says that fight will be on ’pay-per-view’ but didn’t specify a network. Could this fight possibly end up on Showtime? Also, no sign of Top Rank anywhere on the letterhead, confirming that Cotto is a free agent. This will be the first fight in his career without their involvement.
