2012 Boxing Schedule Looking Good!The big one they all want is Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, but it's just been announced that the next epic fight is Mayweather vs. Cotto. Tickets will be sought big time, as Cotto fans will be hoping for an upset, as Money May is returning to the 154-pound weight division for only the second time. Mayweather will be fighting right before he heads to prison and he gave the reason for not fighting Pacquiao as, "I'm fighting Miguel Cotto on May 5th because Miss Pac Man is ducking me." This will no doubt anger Pacquiao, especially a day after new HBO head of sport programming Ken Hershman also said that the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight "has a shelf life". Hershman meant that, should the two finally step in the ring anytime after early 2013, the earning power of the bout will have suffered a significant drop.
So, Mayweather Cotto tickets are the latest in a series of twists in the wonderful world of boxing. It's not the only fight in 2012, though. There's also the rematch of Dawson vs. Hopkins in Atlantic City in April, following their controversial no-decision bout at the Staples Center back in October, 2011. Plus, don't forget Erik Morales vs. Danny Garcia tickets for their fight scheduled for March 24 at the Reliant Arena in Houston, Texas. It looks like the 2012 boxing schedule is going to be pretty smashing!
