Floyd vs.... _____ on May 5th
Welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. will rise in weight and challenge junior middleweight titleholder Miguel Cotto on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after the Nevada State Athletic Commission voted 5-0 on Wednesday to grant Mayweather a one-fight license at the conclusion of a one-hour hearing.
"Miguel Cotto is a world-class fighter who can never be taken for granted and continues to prove he is one of the best in boxing," said Mayweather, whose long-discussed match with Manny Pacquiao has been put off yet again. "It will be a challenge for me to compete with him at this weight, but this is the type of test I thrive on and gives me the motivation to train even harder. I have no doubt in my mind that my title belt collection will increase once again and Cotto's reign as champion will come to an end on May 5."

”-- Floyd Mayweather Jr., in a tweet after his hearingI'm fighting Miguel Cotto on May 5th because Miss Pac Man is ducking me.
Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) has had one previous fight in the 154-pound division, which was when he outpointed Oscar De La Hoya to win a belt in May 2007.
The selection of Cotto (37-2, 30 KOs) as the opponent for the fight, which will be on pay-per-view (although the network that will handle the event was not announced), does not come as a big surprise. He was one of the leading names to get the fight along with fellow titleholder Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Besides Mayweather and Pacquiao, Cotto is the next biggest pay-per-view attraction in boxing.

New Coach in Indy...What about Manning?
Chuck Pagano is the fourth former Ravens defensive coordinator to land a head coaching job, following Marvin Lewis, Mike Nolan and Rex Ryan.
The Wyoming graduate and former strong safety for the Cowboys began his coaching career in 1984 as a graduate assistant at Southern California and spent time in the college ranks at Boise State, UNLV, East Carolina and Miami before joining Cleveland to coach the secondary. In 2005-06, he was defensive backs coach at Oakland, then served as defensive coordinator at North Carolina before joining the Ravens when John Harbaugh became head coach four years ago.
"Chuck is unorthodox," Suggs said. "He's like the Joker. You never really expect what he's going to do, and everything has a motive."
The Ravens considered Pagano to be just one of the guys.
"What makes him good? He relates to the players a whole lot," defensive end Cory Reddingsaid. "He's almost like a player in a D-coordinator's position. The guy has so much fun with us. He treats you like more than a player. It's like we're his sons. He wants us to do well. He keeps it fresh. He knows everybody's strengths and puts them in position to make plays."
Asked last month if he had aspirations to be a head coach, Pagano replied, "When I was a kid growing up, my dad being a football coach, he asked the same question of all the assistants that he ever hired: 'Is your goal to be a head football coach?' He always said if somebody had answered him, 'Not really, I'm OK just being a position coach,' then I don't think he really wanted him on his staff because he wanted ambitious guys.

"I think if you ask anybody they'd say yeah. That would be something you always work for and toward."
Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger believes Pagano has what it takes to be a head coach in the NFL.
"Chuck has a leadership quality about him. He's humble but he also knows when to take the reins and take charge," Kruger said. "He doesn't try to dominate you in every meeting. He's just a coach that knows exactly how players are and what direction they need. He's a hell of a coach and I really think he'll be a head coach one day."
One of Pagano's and Grigson's most important decisions will be helping Irsay determine Manning's future with the club.
In an interview with The Indianapolis Star this week, Manning appeared turned off by the sudden upheaval in the Colts complex.
"I'm not in a very good place for healing, let's say that," he told the newspaper. "It's not a real good environment down there right now, to say the least. Everybody's walking around on eggshells. I don't recognize our building right now. There's such complete and total change."
Manning said he met with Grigson last week and was told that Irsay would determine whether the quarterback will remain a Colt.
Manning said a meeting with Irsay "is going to happen at some point, but we haven't had that conversation yet because we really don't need to have that conversation yet."
He reiterated to The Star that he wants to remain with the Colts but realizes it's not his call solely to make. He also made it clear that he isn't contemplating retirement right now.
Manning is due a $28 million bonus in early March.
We might have got something right. I'm smiling inside.
