Take your pick: Mosley or Mayweather

-

MANILA, Philippines - Sports fans get to win a pair of boxing gloves personally signed by ring superstar Manny Pacquiao by joining Solar TV’s Who R U Picking? promo.

To participate one only has to log in to www.mayweathervsmosley.org, register online and vote for his bet in the bout between unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. and reigning welterweight champion Sugar Shane Mosley in their May 1 fight (May 2, Manila time) for the World Boxing Association (WBA) 147-pound title belt.

Deadline for voting is on May 1.

Who R U Picking? pits two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world today in Mayweather and Mosley, who will slug it out over 12 explosive rounds at the MGM Grand Garden Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A six-time world champion, Mayweather is 40-0, with 25 KOs. He came out of a two-year retirement last year and scored a dominant 12-round decision over Mexican pride Juan Manuel Marquez in his first comeback fight.

A potential mega-fight with Pacquiao set last March 13 was nipped in the bud when the two parties failed to compromise on the drug testing procedures to be administered for their title fight.

Mosley, on the other hand, has won five world titles in the past, the last of which he claimed following a brutal ninth round technical knockout of Antonio Margarito.

 The 38-year-old boxer from Pomona, California was poised to fight WBC champion Andre Berto last January, only for the fight to be called off at the last minute following the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti, Berto’s country of birth.

Solar TV and Solar Sports in cooperation with GMA-7 will air Who R U Picking? Mosley vs Mayweather on May 2.

The boxing card is likewise to be shown on Cignal TV, Skycable and pay-per-views in various cinemas.
