Let’s get down to the nuts and bolts of the match that everyone is settling for. On May 7, live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, Pacquiao vs. Mosley.
If you can’t make it to Las Vegas, then you should try it through Showtime Pay-Per-View for $54.95.
The fight night will start at 8pm. The undercard for the fight goes as follows:
Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. vs. Jorge Arce
Kelly Pavlik vs. Alfonzo Lopez
Mike Alvarado vs. Ray Narh
The undercard is a rather overwhelming set, but it goes in line with the underwhelming main event.

Pacquiao, Mayweather stay atop pound-for-pound list
Status quo prevailed through the top eight slots in the latest installment of The Sports Network's Top 10 pound-for-pound boxing rankings, released Thursday.
Incumbent WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, who will defend his title against Shane Mosley on May 7 in Las Vegas, remains No. 1 overall largely on the strength of November's unanimous decision victory over Antonio Margarito at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
That fight earned Pacquiao the WBC super welterweight title and ran his unbeaten streak to 13 fights since a decision loss to Erik Morales in 2005. Pacquiao subsequently vacated the 154-pound championship and announced his intention to remain at 147 pounds.
Placing second to the Filipino is unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was the last fighter other than Pacquiao to occupy the top spot. Mayweather beat Mosley by a wide 12-round verdict in a May 2010 match, but has been inactive since, due at least in part to a series of legal concerns.
A fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather has been discussed for the last few years, but was initially scuttled due to Mayweather's demands for stringent pre-fight drug testing. Subsequent gestures from the Pacquiao camp, however, have reportedly gone unanswered, leaving the fight's fate uncertain.
IBF/IBO/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko remains at No. 3 in spite of a recent injury that shelved a planned defense against unbeaten Dereck Chisora. Reportedly, Klitschko is close to a unification bout this summer with WBA champion David Haye.
Consensus middleweight kingpin Sergio Martinez is No. 4 and will attempt to maintain that status Saturday night, when he'll meet rising 154-pounder Sergiy Dzinziruk.
Staying at No. 5 is WBC heavyweight title-holder Vitali Klitschko, who's 6-0 since returning from a four-year retirement.
Holding spots 6, 7 and 8 are WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward and IBF super middleweight champion Lucien Bute, respectively.
Up one spot from 10 to 9 is WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez, who improved to 30-0 and scored knockout No. 27 with an eighth-round stoppage of veteran Rafael Marquez in November.
Lopez will defend against former IBF champion Orlando Salido on April 16 in Puerto Rico.
The lone Top 10 newcomer - occupying spot No. 10 - is Filipino bantamweight Nonito Donaire, who won the WBC/WBO titles with a smashing two-round KO of Fernando Montiel on Feb. 19 in Las Vegas.
Unbeaten since his second pro fight in 2001, Donaire previously held the IBF/IBO titles at 112 pounds from 2007-09. He will reportedly meet WBA champion Anselmo Moreno in a bantamweight unification bout on May 28 in Atlantic City.

If Sugar Shane Mosley hits Manny Pacquiao with his best punch and hits him often but cannot hurt him, and Manny either wins by either decision or stoppage, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will continue to duck the Pacman.

It’s no secret that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has the nickname “May-Never”, because he may never fight Manny Pacquiao, unless, Manny is way past his prime and on the decline. Mayweather is giving more fighters a chance to beat Manny Pacquiao like those evil villains in the movies where the hero defeats each one of his henchmen one by one and the bad guy yells HOW COME HE HASN’T DIED YET! HOW COME HE IS BEATING ALL OF MY MEN! Floyd is hoping Mosley knocks out Pacman or softens him up before even considering to fight him. Hence, why Shane Mosley made the statement that Floyd Mayweather is making him do his dirty work, basically Floyd wants Shane to beat Manny so he doesn’t have to fight him.
Floyd knows he might lose against a prime Pacquiao. Manny has a style that will give him so much trouble, he is a southpaw, can take a punch, throws hundreds of odd angle punches with power, has fast awkward foot work, is hard to time, has stamina and if Floyd breaks his hands against Manny, Floyd knows he is pretty much a dead man because if Manny knows you can’t hurt him he will come full force at you non stop.
Floyd gets so much credit for having good stamina, but that’s a load of bull, we haven’t seen him throw as many punches as Antonio Margarito or Manny Pacquiao, Floyd throws like 10 to 20 punches a round. Of course you will look like you have good stamina when you just throw a few punches while covering yourself.
If he threw a lot of combos, Floyd would be gassed out, and Manny Pacquiao gets stronger as the fight goes on, he throws thousands of punches without getting gassed, he will tire for a little bit but Pacman recovers within a few seconds.
Floyd Mayweather will not fight Manny Pacquiao if he looks sensational against Sugar Shane Mosley, but if Pacman looks slower, gets dropped a couple of times or wobbled, but still wins a decision against Mosley, Floyd would consider taking the Pacman on, only because Pacquiao would look very beatable and Floyd knows he would have a better chance of beating him.
If Manny Pacquiao knocks out Shane Mosley, Floyd will announce his official retirement from the sport of boxing shortly after.

The WBC 154-pound Jr. Middleweight title fight between Pacquiao vs Margarito will be happening at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. If Pacquiao wins, it will be his eighth (8th) championship belt.
Antonio Margarito Montiel is a Mexican-American boxer and former World Boxing Association Welterweight Champion. He is also a former International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Organization Welterweight champion.
Margarito’s reputation was tarnished by an incident in which his corner is alleged to have tampered with his hand wraps prior to his bout with Shane Mosley, which were found by the CSAC to contain sulfur and calcium, which combine with oxygen to form “Plaster of Paris,”
