Top Rank Promotions CEO, Bob Arum, told FanHouse on Thursday that he expects to close a deal "today" with fellow 79-year-old rival promoter, Don King, that will match former world champion Ricardo Mayorga (pictured above, at left) of Managua, Nicaragua, opposite Arum's WBA junior middleweight (154) titlist Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, on a March 12, pay per view card from the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
A former WBA and WBC welterweight (147 pounds) and WBC junior middleweight king, the 37-year-old Mayorga (29-7-1, 22 knockouts) is coming off of a Dec. 17, ninth-round knockout over Michael Walker (19-6-2, 12 KOs), of Chicago, the latter of whom lost for the fifth straight time when he was stopped for the third consecutive fight.
