Former two-time welterweight champion Andre Berto is finishing up his training camp for the showdown with WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight is scheduled for September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and headlines a Showtime Pay-Per-View event.
The fight is not a popular one among the fans, because of Berto's standing as a humongous underdog. Berto has gone 3-3 in his last six fights and his best victory in recent years came against Josesito Lopez several months ago.
Berto believes that fans are attacking his upcoming pay-per-view because of the post-event fallout from Mayweather's May 2nd mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao - which had 4.4 million buys on PPV, but lacked any real fireworks and Pacquiao revealed that he entered the fight with an injured right shoulder.
"I just feel like that Mayweather-Pacquiao fight left a bad tastes in a lot of peoples' mouths and it transcended over to this side. Like I said, they've never seen a boring Andre Berto fight. There is definitely going to be something for them to tune into . At the end of the day he is 38-years old and he's going to have a young, powerful bull on his ass," Berto said.
