A press conference held today at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas showcased the Pay-Per-View co-features and undercard of Saturday night?s ?Mayweather vs. Mosley: Who R U Picking?? megafight. In the co-main, unbeaten, copper-topped welterweight Saul Alvarez (31-0-1, 23 KOs), heralded as the next big name out of Mexico, will take on once-beaten Puerto Rican, Jose Miguel Cotto (31-1-1, 23 KOs).
?I have a lot of respect for my rival but obviously, like every fight, I?m here to win,? said Alvarez. ?That?s what I plan to do on Saturday night.?
Cotto?s trainer, Jose Santiago, promised an upset that would result in, both, Golden Boy matchmaker Eric Gomez and CEO Richard Schaefer, losing their jobs. ? I will prevail on May 1st and will have a big win,? said Cotto. ?I?m not fighting in my weight. I accepted to fight and will fight at his weight. I hope that he comes in the same condition of me.? Stay tuned for a full report on today?s press conference by Andreas Hale, with a full photo gallery.

If Cotto does pull of the upset, I don't think Golden Boy is going to be offering him a contract. Cotto should tell his trainer to shut his trap.
