PPV News: Mosley-Mayweather, Latin Fury 14 + 15, Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., Holyfield-Botha
There are some interesting and not-so-interesting smaller PPV shows on the horizon, with cards filling out, and one major card that isn't much filling out at all. Let's start with the latter. All cards are subject to change, of course. May 1: Mosley-Mayweather This pay-per-view is a major event,...
