On the Montiel-Donaire under card, which is being promoted by Top Rank Promotions, unbeaten 27-year-old Philadelphia welterweight (147 pounds) contender, Mike Jones (23-0, 18 KOs) has a rematch with 28-year-old Jesus Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KOs), over whom Jones won a disputed, unanimous decision in November at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
Jones and Soto-Karass will earn $75,000 each.
In another welterweight match up, 30-year-old Mike Alvarado (28-0, 20 KOs) of Colorado is scheduled to make $20,000 in pursuit of his third straight victory when he takes on 27-year-old Dean Harrison (16-4, five KOs) of England, who will make $8,000.
In yet another welterweight bout, 24-year-old southpaw Mark Jason Melligan (20-2, 14 KOs) of the Philippines will pursue his fifth straight victory and his third knockout during that stretch against 23-year-old Gabriel Martinez (27-1-1, 14 KOs) of Mexico, who is riding an 10-bout winning streak that includes five knockouts.
Melligan will earn $10,000 compared to Martinez's $6,000.
