On May 1, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, 32-year-old Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 knockouts) will take on 38-year-old WBA welterweight (147 pounds) super world champion, Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) in a highly-anticipated matchup between two of boxing's best fighters, pound-for-pound.
A five-time champion, Mayweather (pictured at right) is coming off of September's lopsided, 12-round uanimous decision over Mexican great, Juan Marquez, and Mosley, off of a January, 2009, ninth-round knockout of another excellent Mexican fighter in Antonio Margarito, who was stopped for the first time in his career by Mosley.
One of the stipulations of the bout agreement was an immediate rematch for Mayweather, as well as the fact that both combatants will be subjected to Olympic-style, randomly blood, and, urinalysis testing.
But fans, nationwide, won't have to wait until May to get what could be perhaps an up-close and personal view of the two future Hall Of Famers, who might just be coming to a theatre near you.
The lead promoter for the tour is Goden Boy Promotions.
Below is the schedule of the fighters' promotional tour, which begins on March 2 with stops in New York, Washington ,D.C., and, Los Angeles.
