    Mosley reportedly earns $650,000 for the fight, with Alvarez taking home three times as much.

    Mayweather reaches the ring first.

    WTF is up with the people carrying Money's belts? Triple H, 50 Cent, Justin Bieber?!

    Mayweather is wearing leather shorts. Cotto is wearing pink socks.

    Mayweather way too fast through two rounds.

    Cotto, predictably, having trouble finding the mark so far. Three rounds to Mayweather who--in fairness--hasn't landed many of his own. But it's Mayweather...

    On queue Mayweather starts picking up the pace in the fourth.

    Cotto is trying to trap Mayweather in the corner or along the ropes but his rolling and head movement is keeping him out of trouble.

    When Mayweather comes forward he lands with great accuracy but so far hasn't pushed very hard, which is his style I guess.

    Six down, Mayweather likely up six.

    Starting to lose interest in this one...

    Cotto with more success in the eighth, Mayweather's nose bloodied. Still has a mountain to climb.

    Not exactly sure where we're at on the scorecards right now. I'm thinking somewhere like 7-2 (88-82) for Mayweather.

    I'm watching the fight in Romanian and drifting in and out of attention... I'm seeing some people on the internet with the fight even or putting Cotto ahead. Don't see it personally but who knows?

    This is the most damage I've seen on Money's face in years. Cotto doesn't look better.

    11th round. This fight has gone by quickly.

    Cotto driving his head into Mayweather's chest, trying to pin him in place, but eating punches in the process.

    I have it 8-3 for Mayweather. Cotto needs to knock him out. However, Mayweather needs to decisively win this round to make things safe for him in the eyes of the judges, I reckon.

    Mayweather finishes well enough to earn the decision, most likely.

    I guess the commentating on HBO was horrendously biased. Didn't see it. Was watching a British feed, then a Romanian one. Doesn't surprise me.

    Mayweather takes the fight on all cards and it wasn't close.
