According to Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, he expects to finalize a deal with promoter Don King, that will match former world champion Ricardo Mayorga against WBA junior middleweight champio Miguel Cotto in the main event of a March 12 pay per view card from the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
The 37-year-old Mayorga (29-7-1, 22 KOs) returned on Dec. 17 to score a ninth-round knockout over Michael Walker (19-6-2, 12 KOs). Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs) has not fought since June's ninth-round knockout victory over Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KOs), whom he dethroned for his current crown in the first-ever professional fight to be staged at the new Yankee Stadium in New York.
