For all the talk about Floyd Mayweather supposedly wanting an “easy” fight come September, it looks like he may be getting his wish.
Michael Woods of The Sweet Science broke the news Tuesday that the five-division champion is officially slated to fight Andre Berto on September 12. The bout will be broadcast on CBS instead of on pay-per-view.
The fight will be the sixth and final of Mayweather’s deal with Showtime and it’s hard to foresee it generating very much excitement.
While Berto is a fine fighter in his own respect, he is galaxies away from Mayweather’s level as a fighter.
