That number is down from +700 when betting opened on Feb. 27.</p> <p>Mayweather is a -750 favorite, meaning it requires a wager of $750 to win a profit of $100. That number opened at -1100.</p> <p>A titleholder at 130, 135, 140, 147 and 154 pounds, Mayweather has never lost in 43 professional fights. The 36-year-old from Grand Rapids, Mich., is an odds-on favorite to win by decision (at 5-to-9) with even odds on a knockout.</p> <p>Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs), who captured world titles at featherweight, junior lightweight and interim belts at lightweight before skipping the 140-pound division altogether to move to welterweight, is 7-to-1 to win by knockout and 11-to-1 to win by decision.</p> <p>The fight marks Mayweather’s first since he signed a six-fight television deal with Showtime and CBS worth a potential $250 million, parting ways with HBO, which had broadcast his previous 23 fights.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong><em>– Bryan Armen Graham</em></strong></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>May 02, 2013</span></li> <li id="right"><span><div><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2013/05/02/robert-guerrero-floyd-mayweather-vegas-odds/#comments" title="Comment on Robert Guerrero is 5-to-1 underdog in Saturday’s fight with Floyd Mayweather"><span data-lf-article-id="5060" data-lf-site-id="308691" class="livefyre-commentcount">Read 11 Comments</span></a></div></span></li> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-top"></div> <div class="post" id="post-4267"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2013/01/15/quick-jabs-manny-pacquiao-in-no-rush-to-fight-glazkov-scott-card-could-be-unwatchable-more/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Quick Jabs: Manny Pacquiao in no rush to fight, Glazkov-Scott card could be unwatchable, more">Quick Jabs: Manny Pacquiao in no rush to fight, Glazkov-Scott card could be unwatchable, more</a></h1> <div class="category"> <a href="/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/category/boxing/">Boxing</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2013/01/15/quick-jabs-manny-pacquiao-in-no-rush-to-fight-glazkov-scott-card-could-be-unwatchable-more/#comment"><span class="js-kit-comments-count" exclude-sources="Twitter" include-sources="Comments" uniq="/2013/01/15/quick-jabs-manny-pacquiao-in-no-rush-to-fight-glazkov-scott-card-could-be-unwatchable-more/"></span> Comments </a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div id="cnnSCFontButtons"> <div id="cnnSCFontLabel"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize.gif"/></div> <div id="cnnSCFontMinusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('default'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_d.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_l.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"></div> <div id="cnnSCFontPlusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('LargeFont'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_d.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_l.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"></div> </div> <div id="attachment_4283" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 228px"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/manny-pacquiao-blog.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4283 " alt="Manny Pacquiao" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/manny-pacquiao-blog.jpg?w=218&h=300" width="218" height="300"/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Despite rumors, Manny Pacquiao probably will not be fighting in April. (AP)</p></div> <p><i>• </i>Speculation has been rampant in the boxing industry that Manny Pacquiao could return to the ring in April, possibly in a fight in Singapore, Macau or Abu Dhabi. Yet I’m told that there is no sense of urgency to rush Pacquiao back into the ring.</p> <p>Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, told SI.com recently that he prefers that Pacquiao — who was brutally knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez last month — stay out of the ring until September. Pacquiao’s promoter, Top Rank, isn’t pushing to make the fight, partly because getting a $10-million site fee secured in the next two months would not be easy, and partly because Top Rank, like Roach, doesn’t see any need to rush back in the ring, not with another $30 million payday coming Pacquiao’s way in a potential fifth fight with Marquez. Most of the talk of a comeback fight is coming from Pacquiao’s business advisor, Michael Koncz, who will need the full support of Top Rank to make the fight happen. And right now, he doesn’t have it.</p> <p><i>• </i>Last week, Main Events announced that heavyweight prospect Vyacheslav “Czar” Glazkov would headline an NBC Sports Network <em>Fight Night</em> show against undefeated Malik Scott on February 23. Now there has been some backlash to the choice of Scott. Despite good size (6-foot-3) and an unblemished record, Scott is rarely, if ever, in an entertaining fight, preferring to jab his way to lopsided wins on the outside against inferior opposition. It’s how his career has gone and, at 32, it’s likely how his career is going to be.</p> <p>Certainly Scott wasn’t the promoters’ first choice. Main Events thought it had a deal with heavy-handed heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov before he backed out. They it turned to Joe Hanks, Jason Estrada, Travis Kauffman, David Rodriguez, Justin Jones and Franklin Lawrence. Each turned the offer down.</p> <p>There is plenty of upside for Glazkov (14-0). Beating Scott (35-0) would be a nice feather in his cap. The fear though is that Scott, as he has done his whole career, will use his length, box on the outside and win a boring, unwatchable decision. And for Main Events, which has made <em>Fight Night</em> a success largely by putting together exciting fights, that would be a disaster.</p> <p><i>• </i>Shane Mosley, whose skills have deteriorated significantly in recent years and who retired following a lopsided decision defeat to Saul Alvarez last May, is coming out of retirement to challenge welterweight titleholder Paulie Malignaggi at the Barclays Center in April. Putting aside that Mosley, 41, whose declining motor skills have been noticeable to reporters who have interviewed him the last few years, has reached the point where just fighting is especially dangerous, there is almost no way that can be an entertaining fight.</p> <p><i>• </i>British promoter Frank Warren announced a terrific card to be held March 16 at Wembley Stadium in London. Headlining will be lightweight titleholder Ricky Burns, who will attempt to unify the 135-pound titles against fellow titleholder Miguel Vazquez. In addition, light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly will defend his belt against mandatory challenger Robin Krasniqi, super middleweight prospect George Groves will face Mouhamed Ali Ndiaye, and Dereck Chisora, who has not fought since being knocked out by David Haye last summer, will face an undetermined opponent.</p> <p>Chisora’s participation in the show is contingent on him being relicensed by the British Boxing Board of Control, which suspended Chisora’s license indefinitely after he provoked an ugly brawl with Haye last year.</p> <p>The card will be televised in the U.S. on Epix and EpixHD.com.</p> <p><i>• </i>Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek will likely have to deal with charges stemming from an arrest for driving under the influence in upstate New York last week, but physically Adamek emerged from the three-car wreck unscathed. Adamek reportedly crashed his car into a parked vehicle, which was pushed into another parked car, while driving late Saturday night near Lake Placid, N.Y.</p> <p>Adamek is hoping to face Kubrat Pulev later this year in a fight that will determine the next mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko.</p> <p>“Fortunately, he’s fine,” said Adamek’s promoter, Kathy Duva, in an email. “This will not affect his next fight.”</p> <p><i>• </i>Undefeated heavyweight Denis Boytsov, who is recovering from elbow surgery, has resumed training again. I’ll care when the oft-injured Boytsov starts fighting again.</p> <p><i>• </i>Lightweight Adrien Broner’s impressive stoppage of Antonio DeMarco last November has many clamoring to see him in more big fights, including some at junior welterweight, one of the deepest divisions in boxing. However Broner, 23, has no plans to move up in weight anytime soon.</p> <p>“That’s what everybody wants you to do,” Broner said. “They have just seen me dominate and put on a great performance… but I just moved up to this weight [135 pounds]. I still make the weight [by] eating steak and potatoes every night at training camp. I make the weight comfortably, so I’m going to stay here for a lot of good fights that I still can have at 135-pounds. So, I’m going to flush out this lightweight division and then we can go up to the light welterweight and crush their dreams. We’re going to stay here for a while.”</p> <p><i>• </i>An interesting fight under discussion for the spring: Steve Cunningham, the former cruiserweight titleholder coming off a controversial loss to Tomasz Adamek last month, against Tyson Fury, the big (6-foot-8) heavyweight prospect who has been looking for name opponents.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong>-Chris Mannix</strong></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>Jan 15, 2013</span></li> <li id="right"><span><div><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2013/01/15/quick-jabs-manny-pacquiao-in-no-rush-to-fight-glazkov-scott-card-could-be-unwatchable-more/#comments" title="Comment on Quick Jabs: Manny Pacquiao in no rush to fight, Glazkov-Scott card could be unwatchable, more"><span data-lf-article-id="4267" data-lf-site-id="308691" class="livefyre-commentcount">Read 8 Comments</span></a></div></span></li> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-top"></div> <div class="post" id="post-4189"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/12/18/quick-jabs-bernard-hopkins-return-sergio-martinezs-homecoming-fight-and-more/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Quick Jabs: Bernard Hopkins’ return, Sergio Martinez’s homecoming fight and more">Quick Jabs: Bernard Hopkins’ return, Sergio Martinez’s homecoming fight and more</a></h1> <div class="category"> <a href="/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/category/boxing/">Boxing</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/12/18/quick-jabs-bernard-hopkins-return-sergio-martinezs-homecoming-fight-and-more/#comment"><span class="js-kit-comments-count" exclude-sources="Twitter" include-sources="Comments" uniq="/2012/12/18/quick-jabs-bernard-hopkins-return-sergio-martinezs-homecoming-fight-and-more/"></span> Comments </a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div id="cnnSCFontButtons"> <div id="cnnSCFontLabel"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize.gif"/></div> <div id="cnnSCFontMinusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('default'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_d.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_l.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"></div> <div id="cnnSCFontPlusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('LargeFont'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_d.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_l.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"></div> </div> <div id="attachment_4190" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-4190" alt="Bernard Hopkins (above) could return to action in March in an attempt to break his record as the oldest boxer to win a major world title.

(Al Bello/Getty Images)</p></div> <p>Some quick jabs …</p> <p>• All indications are Bernard Hopkins — who will celebrate his 48th birthday next month — will return to the ring in March against IBF light heavyweight titleholder Tavoris Cloud at the Barclays Center. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told SI.com that Hopkins, who was wiped out by Chad Dawson last April, called him “out of the blue” a few months ago and told him, “I know I can still fight, I know I can still win.”</p> <p>“Cloud-Hopkins is an interesting fight,” Schaefer said. “He’s a young, undefeated guy going up against legend like Bernard Hopkins. Bernard feels like it [Cloud] is the perfect style for him. He feels confident he can beat his own record and win another title. Stylistically, it’s an interesting matchup.”</p> <p>According to Schaefer, the last remaining obstacle in making the fight is the IBF. Cloud has a mandatory title defense due against Karo Murat. Schaefer says he has submitted a request to the IBF, with the blessing of Sauerland Event (which promotes Murat) and Don King (Cloud), that outlines a scenario where the winner of Hopkins-Cloud will defend the title against Murat in the next fight.</p> <p>• Wondering why Sergio Martinez is fighting Martin Murray in Argentina next month? Money, a truckload of it. According to sources familiar with the situation, the Argentine government is paying Martinez $5 million to hold his next fight in his home country. Martinez’s popularity in Argentina has grown exponentially in recent years, but monetizing a fight there, where a live gate wouldn’t generate much income, has been considered problematic. With the government offering that kind of guarantee, it becomes worth it.</p> <p>• Schaefer said he hoped to resolve the futures of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Robert Guerrero by the first week in January. Both Alvarez and Guerrero are candidates to face Floyd Mayweather in May. Recently, Alvarez, on his official Facebook page, posted that a Mayweather fight was close to being completed.</p> <p>“Canelo is very much pushing for a Mayweather fight,” Schaefer said. “I’m working on it. I have to see what i can deliver for Canelo. There is a lot of work still to be done.”</p> <p>The most appealing option, from Golden Boy’s perspective, is to match Mayweather with Guerrero, Alvarez with Austin Trout or Alfredo Angulo and if both win make Mayweather-Alvarez in September.</p> <p>• The California State Athletic commission is reaching out to boxers who may be eligible for a $5.1 million pension fund. To qualify, a boxer must be at least 50 years old, have fought at least 10 rounds a year for four years without more than a three-year break, and had a minimum of 75 scheduled professional rounds without a break of three years or more.</p> <p>“The Athletic Commission wants to locate eligible boxers in order to pay them the benefits they have rightfully accrued,” said State Athletic Commission executive officer Andy Foster. “Any assistance in getting the word out would be greatly appreciated and would be a service to the athletes who gave so much to entertain the people of the State of California.”</p> <p>• The assault on Getty Images photographer Al Bello by two members of Manny Pacquiao’s team — advisor Michael Koncz and assistant trainer Buboy Fernandez — was despicable. Photographs clearly show Bello, carrying two cameras, being grabbed and kicked by Koncz and Fernandez while in a precarious position outside the ring. Getty Images has requested further action be taken against Koncz and Fernandez, and I agree with them. A fine and/or a suspension is in order. What I don’t agree with is Getty seeking sanctions against Pacquiao, who had just been knocked out when the assault happened and clearly had nothing to do with it.</p> <p>• Don’t be surprised if Andre Ward’s super middleweight title defense against Kelly Pavlik gets pushed into early or mid-March. Indications I’m getting are that Ward’s shoulder, while not torn, is pretty bad and could require extended time to heal.</p> <p>• Farewell, Larry Merchant. For 35 years you were a credit to the sport. Here’s hoping you stay in it, in some capacity.</p> <p>• As long as Nonito Donaire is represented by Top Rank and Abner Mares by Golden Boy, that fight will never, ever happen.</p> <p>• Schaefer said he spoke to promoter Frank Warren again on Monday and that negotiations continue for a February matchup between lightweights Adrien Broner and Ricky Burns. Schaefer called the talks with Warren “promising.”</p> <p>• On the undercard of Broner-Burns, Schaefer said, would be the rematch between Seth Mitchell and Johnathan Banks. Last month, Banks knocked out the undefeated Mitchell in the second round. When I asked Schaefer if there had been internal discussions about taking Mitchell easing his way back into the ring, he indicated the decision to take the immediate rematch was Mitchell’s decision.</p> <p>“Seth and his team pushed for the rematch,” Schaefer said. “It’s obviously not an easy fight. For Seth, it’s do or die. He needs to show he can beat a guy like Banks. if he can’t win against Banks, it tells you a lot.”</p> <p>• Schaefer confirmed that 41-year old Shane Mosley — who has not won a fight since 2009 and has been retired since taking a lopsided beating from Alvarez last May — is a candidate to face WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi. If that fight is made, it shouldn’t come anywhere near a television network.</p> <p>• Boxing’s return to network TV last Saturday was a success. According to Golden Boy, the CBS card headlined by Leo Santa Cruz’s bantamweight title defense against Alberto Guevara did an overnight rating of 1.3, retaining 90 percent of the audience that watched Butler’s overtime win over Indiana before it. Boxing will be back on network TV this week, this time on NBC, with the rematch between Tomasz Adamek and Steve Cunningham.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><em><strong>– Chris Mannix</strong></em></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>Dec 18, 2012</span></li> <li id="right"><span><div><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/12/18/quick-jabs-bernard-hopkins-return-sergio-martinezs-homecoming-fight-and-more/#comments" title="Comment on Quick Jabs: Bernard Hopkins’ return, Sergio Martinez’s homecoming fight and more"><span data-lf-article-id="4189" data-lf-site-id="308691" class="livefyre-commentcount">Read 4 Comments</span></a></div></span></li> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-top"></div> <div class="post" id="post-2341"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/11/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-fight-does-1-5-million-pay-per-view-buys/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto fight does 1.5 million pay-per-view buys">Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto fight does 1.5 million pay-per-view buys</a></h1> <div class="category"> <a href="/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/category/boxing/">Boxing</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/11/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-fight-does-1-5-million-pay-per-view-buys/#comment"><span class="js-kit-comments-count" exclude-sources="Twitter" include-sources="Comments" uniq="/2012/05/11/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-fight-does-1-5-million-pay-per-view-buys/"></span> Comments </a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div id="cnnSCFontButtons"> <div id="cnnSCFontLabel"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize.gif"/></div> <div id="cnnSCFontMinusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('default'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_d.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_l.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"></div> <div id="cnnSCFontPlusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('LargeFont'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_d.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_l.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"></div> </div> <p>The May 5 fight between Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto did 1.5 million pay-per-view buys, HBO Sports announced Friday.</p> <p>The $94 million in revenue generated by Mayweather-Cotto represents the second highest grossing non-heavyweight pay-per-view event in history, trailing only Mayweather’s 2007 fight with Oscar De La Hoya. That fight did a whopping 2.4 million buys for $137 million in revenue.</p> <p>Mayweather has now generated 9.6 million buys in his nine pay-per-view fights, representing $540 million in revenue.</p> <p>Aside from Mayweather-De La Hoya, only four pay-per-view events have surpassed the buy total from Saturday’s fight: Holyfield-Tyson II in June 1997 (1.99 million buys), Lewis-Tyson in June 2002 (1.97 million), Holyfield-Tyson I in November 1996 (1.59 million) and Tyson-McNeeley in August 1995 (1.55 million).</p> <p>Mayweather improved to 43-0 and captured the WBA super welterweight championship with a unanimous-decision victory over Cotto, but not before enduring what many regarded as his <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/bryan_armen_graham/05/06/mayweather.cotto/index.html" target="_blank">toughest test in years</a>.</p> <p>HBO will replay the Mayweather-Cotto fight, along with the co-feature between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Shane Mosley, on Saturday night (10:15 p.m. ET/PT).</p> <p>Mayweather’s 21-month retirement, which ended in 2009, did little to diminish his value as an attraction, as evidenced by subsequent fights with Juan Manuel Marquez (1.05 million buys), Mosley (1.4 million), Victor Ortiz (1.25 million) and Cotto (1.5 million).</p> <p>Over that span, Manny Pacquiao — Mayweather’s lone rival to the mythical pound-for-pound throne — has posted comparable numbers in fights with Cotto (1.25 million), Josh Clottey (700,000), Antonio Margarito (1.15 million), Mosley (1.34 million) and a third fight with Marquez (1.45 million).</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong><em>– Bryan Armen Graham</em></strong></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>May 11, 2012</span></li> <li id="right"><span><div><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/11/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-fight-does-1-5-million-pay-per-view-buys/#comments" title="Comment on Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto fight does 1.5 million pay-per-view buys"><span data-lf-article-id="2341" data-lf-site-id="308691" class="livefyre-commentcount">Read 2 Comments</span></a></div></span></li> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-top"></div> <div class="post" id="post-2306"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/08/floyd-mayweather-passes-post-fight-drug-test/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Floyd Mayweather passes post-fight drug test, commission confirms">Floyd Mayweather passes post-fight drug test, commission confirms</a></h1> <div class="category"> <a href="/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/category/boxing/">Boxing</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/08/floyd-mayweather-passes-post-fight-drug-test/#comment"><span class="js-kit-comments-count" exclude-sources="Twitter" include-sources="Comments" uniq="/2012/05/08/floyd-mayweather-passes-post-fight-drug-test/"></span> Comments </a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div id="cnnSCFontButtons"> <div id="cnnSCFontLabel"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize.gif"/></div> <div id="cnnSCFontMinusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('default');

(AP)</p></div> <p><em>Check back on SI.com later for a full-length column on tonight’s co-feature bout between Canelo Alvarez and Shane Mosley.</em></p> <p>LAS VEGAS — Up-and-coming welterweight Jessie Vargas, a much fancied Floyd Mayweather protege, stayed unbeaten (19-0, 9 KOs) with a unanimous-decision victory over late replacement Steve Forbes (35-11, 11 KOs).</p> <p>“It feels great,” said Vargas, who won by scores of 100-90, 97-93 and 98-92 on the three judges’ scorecards. “I showed my boxing skills. I was in there with a veteran and I outboxed him. It was a totally different game plan with just a week to prepare, [but] I showed I can box any style.”</p> <p>Said Forbes: “He moved around more than I thought. It was smart on his side. I’m not really a welterweight and I took this fight at the last minute; I thought it was a closer fight than [the scores].”</p> <p>Carlos Quintana, a former welterweight titleholder considered well past his prime, surprised the half-full MGM Grand Garden Arena with a vicious sixth-round knockout of DeAndre Latimore. The 35-year-old Quintana (29-3, 23 KOs) punctuated a string of punches with a lunging left that floored Latimore (23-4, 17 KOs), a well-regarded Mayweather Promotions prospect, who nearly rolled out of the ring before rising to his feet. Yet referee Kenny Bayless was unsatisfied with Latimore’s response, calling a stop to the halt to the action at 2:19 of the sixth.</p> <p>“It was a very good fight, I’m very happy,” Quinatana said afterward, who predicted a “very good night for Puerto Rico.”</p> <p>“I kept going for his eye and it paid off,” said Quintana, who connected on 108 of 328 punches (33 percent), compared to 55 of 237 (23 percent) for Latimore. “I went 15 months without fighting, so it’s great to be back.”</p> <p>Miguel Cotto and his wife observed the Quintana upset from ringside before retreating to the locker room afterward to prepare for the main event.</p> <p>In the last fight of the non-PPV undercard, Puerto Rican featherweight prospect Braulio Santos (6-0, 5 KOs) scored a unanimous-decision victory over Juan Sandoval (5-9-1, 3 KOs) of San Bernardino, Calif. Extended the distance for the first time in his career, Santos roughed his way to a wide but hard-fought verdict, winning 59-55 on all three judges’ scorecards.</p> <p>Omar Figueroa (16-0-1, 13 KOs) scored a second-round TKO of Robbie Cannon (12-7-2, 6 KOs) in an eight-round lightweight fight. Figueroa, of Weslaco, Texas, floored Cannon with a body shot in the first round, then again in the second before referee Vic Drakulich intervened at the 2:08 mark.</p> <p>Keith Thurman (17-0, 16 KOs) stopped Brandon Hoskins (16-1-1, 8 KOs) at 0:25 of the third round in an eight-round welterweight bout.</p> <p>In the night’s first bout, welterweight prospect and San Diego native Antonio Orozco (14-0, 10 KOs) continued his rise with a third-round TKO of Dillet Frederick (8-6-3, 5 KOs) of Fort Myers, Fla.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong><em>– Bryan Armen Graham</em></strong></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>May 05, 2012</span></li> <li id="right"><span><div><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/05/mayweather-cotto-undercard-results/#respond" title="Comment on Mayweather-Cotto undercard results"><span data-lf-article-id="2238" data-lf-site-id="308691" class="livefyre-commentcount">Add A Comment</span></a></div></span></li> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-top"></div> <div class="post" id="post-2221"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/05/mgm-grand-sports-book-abuzz-with-mayweather-cotto-looming/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to MGM Grand sports book abuzz with Mayweather-Cotto looming">MGM Grand sports book abuzz with Mayweather-Cotto looming</a></h1> <div class="category"> <a href="/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/category/boxing/">Boxing</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/05/mgm-grand-sports-book-abuzz-with-mayweather-cotto-looming/#comment"><span class="js-kit-comments-count" exclude-sources="Twitter" include-sources="Comments" uniq="/2012/05/05/mgm-grand-sports-book-abuzz-with-mayweather-cotto-looming/"></span> Comments </a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div id="cnnSCFontButtons"> <div id="cnnSCFontLabel"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize.gif"/></div> <div id="cnnSCFontMinusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('default'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_d.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_l.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"></div> <div id="cnnSCFontPlusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('LargeFont'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_d.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_l.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"></div> </div> <div id="attachment_2227" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/mayweather-cotto-odds.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-2227 " title="mayweather-cotto-odds-thumb" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/mayweather-cotto-odds-thumb.jpg?w=300&h=508" alt="" width="300" height="508"/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Click to enlarge the most recent odds sheet for Saturday’s super welterweight title fight between Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto.</p></div> <p>LAS VEGAS — As tonight’s Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto fight draws near, the most recent odds from the MGM Grand sports book are reflecting moderate late action on the underdog.</p> <p>Mayweather remains a lopsided favorite in the super welterweight title fight (9 p.m. ET, $59.95, HBO PPV), though the odds against Cotto have shortened to 5-to-1 at press time — down from 6-to-1 earlier this week.</p> <p>The trend should come as no surprise to anyone who attended Friday’s weigh-in, where crowd support <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/04/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-exchange-words-at-weigh-in/" target="_blank">skewed heavily in support of Cotto</a>. More than 6,000 fans booed lustily when footage of Mayweather’s knockout of Mexican-American champion Victor Ortiz was shown on dual projection screens, stoking passions that had already been running high during Cinco de Mayo weekend.</p> <p>Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who opened as a 10-to-1 favorite against Shane Mosley in tonight’s co-feature bout, was a 9-to-1 favorite on Saturday, one of the busiest days of the year at the 5,300-square-foot betting arena.</p> <p>Hordes of soccer fans made for an energetic, standing-room-only environs Saturday morning, as Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup Final was broadcast in nearly half of the thirty-six 60-inch plasma televisions and twenty-four 42-inch screens. Even at 11 a.m. local time, the line of bettors extended far past the windows outside the state-of-the-art betting parlor, thanks to a full slate of events including tonight’s fights, the Kentucky Derby, the NBA and NHL playoff and Major League Baseball games.</p> <p>One middle-aged punter insisted the smart money on tonight’s Mayweather-Cotto fight was the rounds proposition: If the fight ends before the 10th round, a $100 bet returns $190 in winnings. If the fight extends past the 10th, it requires a wager of $230 to win $100.</p> <p>“Cotto’s a bleeder and he’ll be there to hit,” said Stephen Thompson, a longtime fight fan (and Chelsea supporter) visiting from London. “I see cuts playing a role in the fight and the referee will have no choice but to stop it.”</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong><em>– Bryan Armen Graham</em></strong></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>May 05, 2012</span></li> <li id="right"><span><div><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/05/mgm-grand-sports-book-abuzz-with-mayweather-cotto-looming/#respond" title="Comment on MGM Grand sports book abuzz with Mayweather-Cotto looming"><span data-lf-article-id="2221" data-lf-site-id="308691" class="livefyre-commentcount">Add A Comment</span></a></div></span></li> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-top"></div> <div class="post" id="post-2200"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/04/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-exchange-words-at-weigh-in/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto exchange words at weigh-in">Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto exchange words at weigh-in</a></h1> <div class="category"> <a href="/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/category/boxing/">Boxing</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/04/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-exchange-words-at-weigh-in/#comment"><span class="js-kit-comments-count" exclude-sources="Twitter" include-sources="Comments" uniq="/2012/05/04/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-exchange-words-at-weigh-in/"></span> Comments </a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div id="cnnSCFontButtons"> <div id="cnnSCFontLabel"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize.gif"/></div> <div id="cnnSCFontMinusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('default'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_d.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_l.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"></div> <div id="cnnSCFontPlusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('LargeFont'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_d.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_l.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"></div> </div> <div id="attachment_2204" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/mayweather-cotto-weigh-in.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2204 " title="mayweather-cotto-weigh-in" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/mayweather-cotto-weigh-in.jpg?w=300&h=202" alt="" width="300" height="202"/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Floyd Mayweather (left) and Miguel Cotto had a heated exchange during Friday afternoon’s weigh-in. (Tom Hogan/Hoganphotos/Golden Boy Promotions)</p></div> <p>LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather often says boos don’t bother him. All he hears is the <em>ch-ching</em> of a cash register.</p> <p>Surely then Mayweather heard a gold mine during Friday afternoon’s weigh-in at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where a standing-room-only crowd of more than 6,000 fans made no secret of their antipathy for the most divisive figure in boxing today.</p> <p>Hours after it was announced Mayweather will earn at least $32 million for Saturday’s super welterweight title fight — a guaranteed figure expected to swell to more than $50 million after the pay-per-view receipts are counted — the undefeated 35-year-old tipped the scales at a career-high 151 pounds. Cotto weighed in at 154, coming in right at the division limit.</p> <p>The tense staredown that followed seemed to stretch into eternity, with Mayweather chomping on gum centimeters from Cotto’s emotionless face, surrounded by a maelstrom of team members and hangers-on. And then Floyd started talking.</p> <p>“I just told him, ‘When you’re facing Floyd Mayweather, you’re facing the best,’” said Mayweather, a 7.5-to-1 favorite according to the latest odds at the MGM Grand sports book. “I don’t feel like I’m just any ordinary opponent and I don’t want him thinking I’m just an ordinary opponent.”</p> <p>Said Cotto: “I’m here to fight. If he wants to run, I’m ready for that. If he wants to face me, I’m ready for that. I’m ready for everything.”</p> <p>Fans had started lining up as early as 7 a.m. local time, six hours before the doors opened for the weigh-in, which was free. They carried signs, flags and brought noisemakers, often jeering Mayweather when his image was shown on the large projection screens. Several hundred were turned away from the gate hours before the first fighters hit the scales at 2:45 p.m.</p> <p>Earlier, Shane Mosley came in a half-pound over the 154-pound limit for his super welterweight title fight with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who hit 154 on the nose. The 40-year-old Mosley, who appeared shocked when informed he was over, returned to the scale a half-hour later and made weight.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong><em>– Bryan Armen Graham</em></strong></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"></div> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>May 04, 2012</span></li> <li id="right"><span><div><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/04/floyd-mayweather-miguel-cotto-exchange-words-at-weigh-in/#comments" title="Comment on Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto exchange words at weigh-in"><span data-lf-article-id="2200" data-lf-site-id="308691" class="livefyre-commentcount">Read 2 Comments</span></a></div></span></li> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrap"> <div class="post-top"></div> <div class="post" id="post-2169"> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/03/mosley-may-have-perfect-opponent-for-comeback-in-alvarez/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Shane Mosley may have perfect comeback opponent in Canelo Alvarez">Shane Mosley may have perfect comeback opponent in Canelo Alvarez</a></h1> <div class="category"> <a href="/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/category/boxing/">Boxing</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2012/05/03/mosley-may-have-perfect-opponent-for-comeback-in-alvarez/#comment"><span class="js-kit-comments-count" exclude-sources="Twitter" include-sources="Comments" uniq="/2012/05/03/mosley-may-have-perfect-opponent-for-comeback-in-alvarez/"></span> Comments </a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div id="cnnSCFontButtons"> <div id="cnnSCFontLabel"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize.gif"/></div> <div id="cnnSCFontMinusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('default'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_d.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_minus_l.gif" alt="Decrease font" title="Decrease font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"></div> <div id="cnnSCFontPlusBtn" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet2('LargeFont'); return false;"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_d.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnIncreaseFont"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/story/textsize_plus_l.gif" alt="Enlarge font" title="Enlarge font" class="cnnDecreaseFont"></div> </div> <div id="attachment_2173" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 308px"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/alvarez-mosley-story.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2173" title="alvarez-mosley-story" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510235446im_/http://sicounterpunch.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/alvarez-mosley-story.jpg?w=298&h=363" alt="" width="298" height="363"/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is putting his WBC super welterweight title and 39-0-1 record on the line against Shane Mosley. (Steve Marcus/Reuters)</p></div> <p>LAS VEGAS — It was strange seeing this Shane Mosley, the former three-division champion and pound-for-pound king sitting on the dais for an undercard press conference, a high-profile name being fed to a rising young star. Years earlier, Mosley stood side by side with Oscar De La Hoya, combatants in two memorable fights. On Thursday, De La Hoya stood next to Mosley again, this time in his capacity as a promoter to introduce Mosley as the dangerous opponent for prized prospect Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.</p> <p>“Shane Mosley beat me twice,” De La Hoya said. “I know how tough a fighter Shane can be.”</p> <p>This is what Mosley (46-7-1) is now, an opponent, a prospective notch on a young fighter’s belt. The multi-million dollar paydays are gone, replaced by a $650,000 purse he will pocket to face Alvarez (39-0-1) on Saturday night at the MGM Grand (9 p.m. ET, HBO PPV). They are gone, and many expected Mosley to be gone, too. Mosley has struggled since his stunning win over Antonio Margarito in 2009. He lost a lopsided decision to Floyd Mayweather in 2010 and looked sluggish in a draw against journeyman Sergio Mora later that year. He managed to land another high-profile fight with Manny Pacquiao last May, but was on his heels all night en route to another one-sided defeat.</p> <p>Mosley claims there were reasons for those poor performances — injuries, distractions, whatever. He claims he is healthy for this training camp for the first time in a long time and that any lingering problems are behind him. He claims that, at 40, he still has a good career ahead of him.</p> <p>“The past is the past,” Mosley said. “This is now. I’m as healthy as can be. God works in mysterious ways.”</p> <p>In making a comeback, Mosley may have found the right opponent. Alvarez is a star: young, good looking, full of charisma. But his boxing credentials are limited. He was hurt in a 2010 win over Jose Miguel Cotto. He was hit with a lot of punches in a 2011 win over Matthew Hatton. He was outboxed for several rounds last September by journeyman Alfonso Gomez.</p> <p>“He’s a star,” said Mosley’s trainer, Nazim Richardson. “But if Jennifer Lopez announced she was fighting next month, I’m pretty sure she could do the same pay-per-view numbers. He’s a good looking kid. He’s a legitimate rock star. But we are going to find out if he can fight on this level.”</p> <p>Indeed, neither Mosley or Richardson appear particularly impressed by Alvarez. Richardson said Alvarez was “good at fighting great fighter’s brothers,” a nod to his wins over Jose Cotto (brother of Saturday night’s headliner Miguel Cotto) and Matthew Hatton (brother of former 140-pound champion Ricky Hatton). Mosley called Alvarez, “a great young fighter.”</p> <p>“But,” Mosley added. “He shouldn’t be in the ring with me.”</p> <p>Recently, Mosley has struggled with speed (Pacquiao) and quickness (Mayweather). Alvarez has neither. Mosley has historically had success against Mexican fighters (Margarito, De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas, among others). And while Alvarez doesn’t fight like a traditional Mexican (“He moves around the ring a little, trying to show you he’s different,” Richardson said.) there will likely come a time when the two stand toe-to-toe and trade.</p> <p>Then, Richardson and Mosley believe, they will have the advantage.</p> <p>“Shane has to apply his IQ,” Richardson said. “He has to be more intelligent and a step ahead of him. If Canelo is as special as they say he is, he can beat Shane Mosley. If he’s not, Shane is going to knock him the f— out.”</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><em><strong>– Chris Mannix</strong></em></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled
