Jameis Winston Inks Deal With Tampa Ford Dealership
Report: Floyd Mayweather vs. Andre Berto Will Be On CBS On September 12th
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.
Floyd Mayweather's 49th professional fight is reportedly set, and it looks like it won't even be on pay-per-view.
We're less than two months away from Floyd May- weather's planned September 12th fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. No opponent has been officially named and no broadcast plans have been finalized, but if re- ports turn out to be true, May- weather won't be on pay-per-view for his next bout. According to The Sweet Sci- ence's Michael Woods, May- weather (48-0, 26 KOs) is going to face Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) in the main event of a primetime event on CBS network, as opposed to Showtime PPV. Rumblings about Mayweather's 49th pro bout being on CBS have been around for more than a week, and an official announcement on his new opponent is ex- pected to happen within the next few days.
Mayweather is obviously coming off his unanimous deci- sion win over Manny Pac- quiao in the widely dubbed "Fight of the Century". Many fans didn't feel that it lived up to its billing, feeling that the lack of dramatic moments and entertaining exchanges was not worth the $100 PPV cost. Still, the fight blew away all PPV and gate records on its way to being the richest fight in boxing his- tory.

Interested In His Services
INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne plans to play a 15th and final NFL season this fall.
But the question remains: Where will he play?
Wayne is not saying yet, but he said several teams have called about his services.
"It's something I'm excited about," said Wayne, who re- ceived a key to the city of Indi- anapolis from Mayor Greg Ballard during a luncheon Friday afternoon. "I really am. I guess in due time we'll figure out where it is."
Wayne wanted his final sea- son to be with the franchise he spent his entire career with, but that opportunity never came, as the Colts announced on March 6 that they would not be re-signing the veteran. When asked why he wants to play one more season, Wayne said, "I want to finish how I know I can finish."
Wayne had his worst season since 2002 last season, totaling 64 receptions for 779 yards and two touchdowns while dealing with an elbow injury

"It's weird 'cause this is one of my best years as far as being in the best shape that I've been in a while," Wayne said. "It's coming along great."
Wayne finished his Indi- anapolis career with 1,070 re- ceptions for 14,345 yards and 82 touchdowns.
