Thank you everybody for joining us. We are right on time today, and we really appreciate taking the time of the one and only chance Floyd “Money” Mayweather to have this conference call.

And then we will also do a photo opportunity with all the fighters in Los Angeles before we proceed to Las Vegas where we will participate in all Fight Week activities with all the fighters, and Canelo and his opponent, Gomez, will stay in Los Angeles to do their fight.
So, without further ado, everybody look for that Fight Week schedule. We will be sending it out tomorrow to let everybody know all of the activities happening tied into the fight. And joining us today, as I mentioned, is Floyd Mayweather, six-time, five-division world champion and also Leonard Ellerbe, Chief Executive Officer of Mayweather Promotions, and Richard Schaefer, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Boy Promotions who will make the introductions for the call.

LOS ANGELES - Mexico City’s Pablo Cesar “El Demoledor” Cano, the WBC’s leading available contender and a young and hungry Mexican phenom has agreed to step in and face Erik Morales on next Saturday’s “STAR POWER” mega-event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas which will be televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View®. Cano got his chance after Morales’ original opponent, Lucas Matthysse, withdrew from the bout earlier in the week due to a viral infection.
“This is the opportunity of a lifetime and I couldn’t refuse it,” said the 21-year-old Cano who will face Morales for the WBC Super Lightweight World Championship. “I have grown up watching Erik Morales. I know both his strengths and weaknesses. While it’s an honor to fight him, I have the style to beat him and win my first world championship, which is the dream of every fighter.”
