Floyd Mayweather (left) stares down Miguel Cotto (right) at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, today (Fri., May 4, 2012) just one night before their big showdown in "Sin City."

UFC on Fox 3: "Diaz vs. Miller" may be taking place tomorrow night (Sat., May 5, 2012) at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey, but, contrary to what mixed martial arts (MMA) fans would like to believe, it's not even close to the biggest combat sports event taking place that night.

No, that honor goes to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto boxing match taking place later in the night on HBO pay-per-view (PPV).

Mayweather, of course, is one of the biggest stars in boxing, having amassed a spotless record of 42-0 on his way to becoming a box office behemoth alongside Manny Pacquiao. He's moving up in weight to challenge Cotto for the WBA super welterweight championship.

And if the prognosticators are right, he's going to come away with yet another title wrapped firmly around his waist.

No different than the UFC's offering on FOX, the Mayweather vs. Cotto event will feature four fights on PPV. The co-main event will see Saul Alvarez take on Shane Mosley while Deandre Latimore vs. Carlos Quintana and Jessie Vargas vs. Steve Forbes are also set to go down.
