Kevin Iole escribe en Yahoo Sports que Sean Sherk estara presente el dia de hoy en la pelea De la Hoya vs Mayweather en el MGM Grand Garden Arena.

SHERK CHASING FLOYD It’s not unusual when a fighter attends a big match and gets a seat at ringside, hoping to land a fight with the winner of the main event.

It is unusual, however, when that fighter is from a different sport.

But such will be the case Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden when mixed martial artist Sean Sherk, the UFC’s lightweight champion, will be ringside to watch Mayweather try to lift the super welterweight boxing title from De La Hoya.

Mayweather has recently made a number of critical comments about the UFC and MMA. UFC president Dana White, who along with owner Lorenzo Fertitta will also be ringside, has agreed to make it worthwhile for Mayweather to prove his point if he gets past De La Hoya.

The lightweight division in MMA has a 155-pound limit, while the super welterweight division in boxing has a 154-pound limit.

White has been irritated by Mayweather’s putdowns of MMA and has decided to challenge Mayweather to back his words.

Hace dias Sean Sherk comento que esta pelea ni siquiera la veria, ahora resulta que estara en ringside junto a Dana White y Lorenzo Fertitta.

Esto me suena a que es idea de Dana White, mas ahora que acaban de firmar contrato televisivo con HBO (misma empresa que transmitira el PPV de hoy), creo que hay una gran posibilidad de que salgan en camara y hasta hagan algun comentario. Aunque es una buena oportunidad de publicidad para UFC, no me parece lo mas adecuado.

Por mi parte aunque es muy atractiva esta pelea, mejor estare viendo el ADCC 2007.
