Some boxing fans were let down by the "Fight of the Century" between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao back in May. I don't think they'll have any worries about being disappointed by the next huge attraction the sport will offer up - a PPV bout between Miguel Cotto and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. After months of negotiations, the bout is now official for November 21st at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Canelo posted about it on his Instagram today:
The fight will be televised on HBO PPV, but pricing details are unknown at this point. It will also be contested at a 155 lbs catchweight, but Cotto's WBC middleweight belt (160 lbs) will be on the line, and technically both fighters weighing in at 155 would make it a middleweight fight.
