Floyd Mayweather invisible, Shane Mosley opts for Andre Berto

LAS VEGAS—Will her or won’t he?

Will the likely next opponent for either Manny Pacquiao or Miguel Cotto, the one and the only Floyd Mayweather Jr., show his face at ringside Saturday night?

It’s a guessing game, of course, but Bob Arum predicts that Mayweather will not surface this week anywhere around the MGM Grand Garden Arena when the Pinoy Idol and the Puerto Rican hero square off.


“No, Floyd won’t come around although I don’t care if both he and (Sugar Shane) Mosley show up over here,” Arum barked as only Arum can bark.

“I see Mosley has a press conference Saturday morning at Mandalay Bay to announce his (Jan. 29, HBO) bout against Andre Berto. I mean, who cares about Berto? And why wouldn’t Mosley want to wait to see who wins this fight?”

Rafael Garcia, the likeable octogenarian who carefully wraps Mayweather’s hands, told me he thinks the undefeated American will turn up to watch Miguel and Manny. (Btw, Mexican Garcia sees Pacman beating Cotto by KO).

But Kelly Swanson, crack publicist with the Mayweather camp, expressed a different opinion as to the chances of a Mayweather public sighting.

She is on the scene working on behalf of the hotel-casino.

“I don’t know where Floyd is right now but I don’t believe he is coming to this bout.”

I have learned that Mosley-Berto is a “four wall” deal at Mandalay meaning there is no site fee paid to the promoters. All Mandalay Bay will give them are some comped rooms and food.


Commentary: If Floyd shows up then that means he is seriously considering to fight possibly the winner of the Pacquiao-Cotto boxing fight ot he just want to see for his own self how fast Pacquiao really is or how strong Cotto really is...You know Floyd, he is the type of person who only jumps if he knows he can win. Otherwise, forget it!
