Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao?

The 40-year old Shane Mosley is scheduled to fight 32-year-old Filipino congressman and boxer Manny Pacquiao. The bout will be on May 7 in Las Vegas.

Promoter Bob Arum told The Associated Press on Tuesday night that the deal will be done after Mosley’s lawyers approve the final paperwork for the WBO welterweight title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Arum says Pacquiao chose the bout because Mosley is the most accomplished and famous boxer in the field of candidates, which included Juan Manuel Marquez and welterweight champion Andre Berto.

Pacquiao’s record is 52-3-2, with 38 KOs.

Mosley’s record is 46-6-1, with 39 KOs.
