Presented by Fathom Events and Mayweather Promotions, Mayweather vs. Berto has truly historic implications, as a win for Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) brings his undefeated record to equal the late great heavyweight world champion Rocky Marciano (49-0).

Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in nearly 470 movie theaters through Fathom's Digital Broadcast Network. For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change). Fans are in store for a full night of action as the four-fight PPV telecast features two additional world title fights. The co-main event will showcase a WBO Junior Lightweight World Title fight between Roman "Rocky" Martinez (29-2-2, 17 KOs) and Orlando "Siri" Salido (42-13-2, 29 KOs) in a rematch of their epic "Fight of the Year" from April. Plus, WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Badou Jack "The Ripper" (19-1-1, 12 KOs) makes his first defense against mandatory challenger "Saint" George Groves (21-2, 16 KOs). The televised opener pits power-punching Jhonny Gonzalez (58-9, 49 KOs) against Puerto Rico's Jonathan "Polvo" Oquendo (25-4, 16 KOs). Floyd Mayweather (48-0, 26 KO's), a 12-time world champion in five weight divisions, remains boxing's biggest attraction, wowing crowds and generating record numbers every time he steps into the ring. In fact, Mayweather was recently named the world's highest paid athlete by "Forbes" magazine for a second consecutive year. During his extraordinary career, he has amassed wins over world champions such as Manny Pacquiao, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero and Canelo Alvarez. Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KO's), of Winter Haven, Fla. is a former amateur standout and 2004 Olympian for Haiti.A veteran of eight world title fights, all at 147 pounds, he won the WBC Welterweight World Title in June 2008 and made five successful title defenses over the next two and a half years before losing the title in April 2011. Berto won the IBF Welterweight World Title in September 2011. Style-wise, the 5-foot-7 Berto is expected to adopt an aggressive approach with a high punch output, similar to the strategy employed by Marcos Maidana in his first fight against Mayweather. If Mayweather fails to display his trademark speed and defense, Berto could use his power and hand speed to make Mayweather uncomfortable and force him into a brawl.
