Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, has told BoxingScene.com that there is a tentative deal in place for a welterweight unification bout to take place on Jan. 30 between WBA titlist Shane Mosley and WBC belt-holder Andre Berto.
That is unless Floyd Mayweather, Jr. decides that he may want to face either of the two fighters in the meantime.
Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's advisor and CEO of Mayweather promotions, told BoxingScene.com that he believes a bout between his man and Shane Mosley is one that will take place.
I think they will eventually fight, said Ellerbe. If you're asking me when, I don't know.
At last night's post fight press conference after his unanimous decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez, Mayweather said, All roads lead to me.
It is doubtful that Mayweather and his promotional team are going to wait around to decide on their next opponent until the winner of Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto is decided on Nov. 14.
Of his future, Mayweather told the assembled media last night, I will sit down in the next couple of weeks with Al [Haymon] and Leonard and my team, my father and we'll talk about what's next.
