We're waiting for the decision. It was a great fight. Both fighters showed a lot of heart. Mayweather landed some great right hooks in the last round. His overhand right and left uppercut was his best combination. He pumped the jab well too. And here it is: 117-111, 118-110, 117-111, all for Floyd Mayweather Jr., your new champion!

Here we go!
LOL, Especially if they put him in with OJ.
I have to say with Cotto getting only 8 million to Mayweathers 32 million I would have to say Cotto will not be there just for the money.
Pretty Boy may lose his crown in jail...
Yup or if either one ends up in a nursing home first!
Game changer if either one loses before a mega-fight..
I wonder what he would be offered if Cotto beats him?
He wanted a $100M guarantee...he'll have 3 months to think about it
Really guess he doesn't need any money, I like the winner gets the 10% that would be some motivation for a knock out drag out fight I would think.
Mayweather was offered a 45/45 pay per view split with the winner taking the remaining 10 percent--with a guarantee of $50M---and he turned it down...
If hes getting 32 Million for this fight imaging what Mayweather/Pacquiao would pay.
Mayweather risks his perfect record, though heavy favorite in fight against Cotto:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/mayweather-risks-his-perfect-record-though-heavy-favorite-in-fight-against-cotto/2012/05/04/gIQAOTpl1T_story.html
Mayweather continues to insist he doesn’t need Pacquiao, and he may be right. He gets the biggest cut of the revenues for all his fights, and he’s guaranteed to make at least $32 million for this one, while Cotto will pocket $8 million. Mayweather may not be doing boxing any favors by not giving the sport a desperately needed fight, but he’s doing fine for himself.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/mayweather-risks-his-perfect-record-though-heavy-favorite-in-fight-against-cotto/2012/05/04/gIQAOTpl1T_story.html
Absolutely....and Cotto is no slouch--this is his 20th title fight...
Anything can happen remember Tyson/Douglas just saying!
I had a small glimpse into the future and he and Pacman were fighting with canes
Yep---odds are a 12 round decision---would like to see somebody knock his block off...
does Pretty Boy stay unblemished?...<<<Probably but I HOPE NOT!
I hope not but I think he will. I will be watching. Last paycheck for him before the sound of the cell door closing.
Mayweather vs Cotto...does Pretty Boy stay unblemished?...
Malignaggi beats Senchenko, wins WBA welter title:
They call boxing the theater of the unexpected. They could also call the sport the circus of the expected, as in, fight fans expect the judges to screw things up a goodly portion of the time.
Fans of Brooklyn-bred Paulie Malignaggi had to have that in mind as they watched the slick pugilist put on a tutorial of how to get it done, against hometowner Vyacheslav Senchenko, when you are extremely limited by a severe lack of pop. But that all went out the window when the ex junior welter champ did something that he just about never does; Malignaggi (age 31; now 31-4; has just seven stoppages since turning pro in 2001; has hands held together with chewing gum and thumbtacks) became a two-division champion when he stopped Senchenko (age 35; now 32-1) in round nine, to win the WBA welterweight title.
The Twitter Hitter had Senechenko's left eye a mess, and ref Steve Smoger halted the tussle, which unfolded in Donetsk, and ran on pay-per-view.
"I did it" came the Tweet from the account of the Twitter King aka #TK right after the victory.
Senchenko's resume isn't a who's who, but this feat cannot be diminished. Many thought Malignaggi was all done when he was stopped by Amir Khan two years ago. He showed doubters that theory was nothing but hogwash in the Ukraine, and can now secure a fat payday against a big-name foe. Expect Paulie to return triumphant and headline at the Barclays Center in the fall...

Cowboys trying to bring Marquez-Rios to Dallas:
Dallas Cowboys officials are in talks with promotional firm Top Rank about bringing a boxing match to Cowboys Stadium, tentatively scheduled for July 14.
Bob Arum, president of Top Rank, said he would like to bring Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez to face Brandon Rios for a possible junior welterweight title fight. The fight is contingent upon Marquez and Rios each winning their fights April 14 -- Marquez's in Mexico City and Rios' in Las Vegas.
Marquez (53-6-1) will meet Sergey Fedchenko (30-1) in the main event. Rios (29-0, 22 KOs) takes on Richard Abril (17-2-1, 8 KOs) on an undercard bout. Arum said if Rios and Marquez win their fights and don't sustain any significant physical damage, they will meet.
Brett Daniels, senior director of corporate communications for Cowboys Stadium, said several dates have been discussed with Top Rank.
Cowboys Stadium has hosted two boxing cards, both involving Manny Pacquiao in 2010.

Thanks Neb, watching the fights now.
Last night...hbo Kirkland won on humbug...morales lost to young guy...zab Judah actually won a clean fight vs. a young 22-0 guy talking smack...NBC sports...
Nebby baby: What time? What station? Free or pay per view? Thanks.
Some good boxing on tonight.....
Sergio Martinez fighting tonight...
Nice fight on Showtime tonight...Salito vs Lopez...Mexico vs..PR
Only based on disgust...turns out bob arum will never let pacman fight Floyd...turns out pacman seems to be making relative peanuts compared to Floyd for his fights...if they match up that will be a storyline pointing straight at arum IMHO
Don't be fooled...marquez is to pacman's as Ken norton was to Ali .....Bradley is a journeyman fighter...

I saw that fight on tube... Good for Gina that Hollywood doesn't care. The movie was cheesy fun though. I think she did well in her speaking scenes...as a fighter she was a lot more believable...hotel fight scene was pretty good...
I will admit to watching it LOL...too bad Gina got beat by that Cyborg girl from Brazil who is now suspended for steroids..
I still don't watch it but I agree with their formula...and that Gina carano is the new ass kicking babe of the future...haywire was pretty good...
Yup--they match their top guys up...looking forward to Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans in April...and they're putting a few cards on prime time
This is why MMA..ufc is killing boxing....
I'm surprised they are even jeopardizing the mega-mega payday that's still out there--for now
Not a chance.....But if he did the pacman fight is cut in half as a purse
