AL BERNSTEIN CELEBRATES PPV ANNIVERSARY PhilBoxing.com Tue, 30 Apr 2013 When Hall Of Fame boxing broadcaster Al Bernstein serves as ringside analyst on the May 4 SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View telecast of Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero he will celebrate a significant milestone. It will mark 30 years since he did his first major pay per view match in 1983?Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Duran. In those 30 years Al has also called PPV matches featuring the likes of Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Manny Pacquiao, Evander Holyfield, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Miguel Cotto and many other champions. Now reigning pound for pound champion Floyd Mayweather joins the list. ?It?s exciting to get to chronicle the final portion of Floyd?s career,? Al said. He added, ?This fight with Robert Guerrero starts his final push to complete his career undefeated and add to his boxing legacy.
