Bob Santos, the manager of Robert Guerrero, talked about his fighter’s potential fight with Floyd Mayweather to BoxingScene.com:

Sources have advised BoxingScene.com that Golden Boy officials and Floyd Mayweather’s team will hold a meeting in Los Angeles on Friday to discuss and likely finalize the WBC welterweight champion’s May 5 opponent.

During a recent interview with BoxingScene.com's Chris Robinson, HBO analyst Larry Merchant questioned the validity of Robert Guerrero challenging WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Guerrero, along with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, are reportedly the two leading candidates to face Mayweather.

Whether you love him or loathe him, you must admit that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a way of making the headlines unlike anybody else in the sport.

As previously reported, former champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (29-1-1, 18KOs), along with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0, 29Kos), are the two frontrunners to face WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In a recent article by BoxingScene's Ronnie Nathanielsz, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum criticized a possible fight between Mayweather and Guerrero. Arum doesn't expect the fight to generate much business.

Former champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (29-1-1, 18KOs), along with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0, 29Kos), are the two frontrunners to face WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather's was scheduled to start a 90-day jail sentence on Friday, but a Las Vegas judge adjourned Mayweather's surrender date to June 1. Last month Mayweather pled guilty to a domestic abuse charge.

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will make an announcement next week regarding the details of his May 5th bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. According to Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer, both HBO and Showtime are being considered to handle the pay-per-view aspect. The two fighters being considered for Mayweather, according to Schaefer, are Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Robert Guerrero.

Former champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero received some bad news on Wednesday, when Floyd Mayweather Jr. was sentenced to 90-days in jail. The boxer was sentenced in a Las Vegas court in connection with a domestic confrontation with the mother of his three children. Mayweather was ordered to begin his sentence on January 6th. Based on the sentence, it appears the boxer's planned return for May 5th is in jeopardy - unless he gets out much earlier than expected. Mayweather has the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on hold for May 5th, and Guerrero has been campaigning hard to secure the Cinco De Mayo showdown.

Former champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero, now known as the prediction king, continued his streak of picking winners with last Saturday's super middleweight fight between Andre Ward and Carl Froch at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Ward won a twelve round unanimous decision to unify the WBA/WBC titles and claimed the Super Six cup. Guerrero picked Ward by way of a dominating performance. The final scores, unanimous for Ward, were a bit odd. Two judges scored 115-113 for Ward, while the British judged scored it 118-110, a more realistic story of the fight.

Former champion Robert Guerrero has been on a roll with his boxing predictions, including an accurate call on last week's junior welterweight bout between Lamont Peterson and Amir Khan in Washington, DC. Guerrero predicted a fast start by Khan, and saw Peterson fighting back in the later rounds to win a close split decision, which is exactly what happened. Later tonight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Carl Froch and Andre Ward will stake their super middleweight titles in the final bout of the Super Six Boxing Classic.
