Today was not your typical Friday. For on this Friday, Floyd Maywaether Jr. was released from jail. The details, including a famous friend who was there to greet him, after the jump.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will fight Miguel Cotto on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It’s not the fight we want (that would be the dream megafight with Manny Pacquiao that looks increasingly like it will never happen), although Cotto has fared well against common opponents. Still, like all of the other times there was a glimmer of hope for Mayweather/ Pacquiao and it didn’t happen, we can’t help but be incredibly disappointed. [LA Times]

Miguel Cotto returns to the ring in two weeks to fight for the WBA title a division above where he last was, attempting to mark the first loss in opponent Yuri Foreman’s career. And for the 29-year-old Cotto, it may mark his last chance to claim a place among the sport’s elite.
