Mosley and Canelo are scheduled to duel on the undercard as a co-headline to Mayweather-Cotto, which lands on Cinco de Mayo, one of the most lucrative holidays for boxing.

Mayweather is coming up from the welterweight (147 lbs.) division to challenge Cotto for his title at 154, a weight Mayweather hasn't fought at since Cinco de Mayo 2007, when he defeated Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KO) by split decision.

Mayweather is coming off a fourth-round knockout of Victor Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KO) last September that netted him the WBC welterweight world title.

Cotto is coming off a tenth-round TKO of Antonio Margarito (38-8, 27 KO) last December to avenge the first loss of his career.

The fight will be held at the MGM Grand and air on HBO Pay-Per-View.
