SATELLITE broadcast channel, SuperSport, says it has concluded arrangements to broadcast live to Nigerians' this weekend's WBA light-middleweight bout between Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather JNr, and the English FA Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool.Miguel Cotto is never in a bad fight and Floyd Mayweather jnr is never in a dull one. It therefore stands to reason that this weekend's match-up between the pair in Las Vegas has the potential to be explosive.Cotto, the WBA light-middleweight champion, is rejuvenated following his recent dismantling of Antonio Margarito, while Mayweather sits pretty with his flawless 42-0 record. The bout will be broadcast live on SuperSport 2 and HD 2 on DStv from 3am on Sunday morning.A recent poll by Ring magazine had all 22 experts picking Mayweather to win, but any man with two hands and ambition stands a chance. Cotto is a vicious body puncher who has the ability to hurt anyone he fights.At his best, Cotto is a formidable opponent, boasting a powerful jab and a knockout ratio above 75 per cent. He's beaten a range of name opponents, among them Ricardo Mayorga, Shane Mosley and Zab Judah.Mayweather isn't taking him for granted. 'Cotto can fight. Cotto is a helluva fighter. Every time you watch Cotto you're going to see an exciting fight. I am not Antonio Margarito. I'm not Yuri Foreman. He's facing Floyd Mayweather. This is a little different. I don't want to remotely put in his mind that this is going to be an easy task. I don't think he thinks it's going to be an easy.'The first rate undercard is headed by popular (and unbeaten) Mexican Saul Alvarez against veteran Shane Mosley.In the English FA Cup, Roberto di Matteo's Chelsea rescue mission following Andre Villas-Boas turbulent reign at Stamford Bridge could come full circle today with victory in the FA Cup final which is exclusively live on SuperSport and in High Definition.
