Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Saturday night will for once in recent months make headlines for what he actually does for a living, when he faces the great Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

Betting odds list Mayweather Jr. at -350 to win this bout.

Mayweather will be taking on one of the best in the business after a layoff of nearly two years, although Marquez should be anywhere from eight to 12 pounds heavier than he's ever been come fight time.

Marquez has only been a 135-pound fighter for about a year and this bout will be contested at a 145 limit.

The Mexican is coming off wins over Juan Diaz and Joel Casamayor, arguably the best of his career, but he's also been hit more than at the lower weights.

It will be a heavily pro-Marquez crowd for the Mexican Independence Day-related promotion.
