Mayweather bout

FLOYD Mayweather Jr will challenge Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto for the World Boxing Association super welterweight title on May 5, less than a month before the American is due to report to jail. Mayweather had requested that his three-month prison sentence for domestic battery be postponed until June so that he could compete in one more bout, an appeal that was granted by a Las Vegas judge earlier this month. That bout was widely expected to be a long-awaited mega-showdown with Filipino Manny Pacquiao but the fighters' promoters could not agree on the date. Instead, Mayweather will step up in class from his customary welterweight and take on three-division world champion Cotto in Las Vegas, Nevada.
