Manny Pacquiao to face Shane Mosley

Shane Mosley has agreed to fight Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on May 7.

Pacquiao (52-3-23, 38 knockouts) will defend his WBO welterweight title.

Former welterweight champion Mosley (46-6-1, 39 knockouts) is 0-1-1 in a pair of poor performances against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sergio Mora in his last two fights.

Mosley is in the midst of a nasty breakup with Golden Boy, leaving the company to negotiate the Pacquiao fight on his own with Top Rank’s Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter.
