Mayweather, 36, will make his first-ever appearance on Showtime Pay Per View against Guerrero. It will also be his first fight under an agreement with Showtime that could have the five-division titleholder fighting “six times over a period of 30 months.”

Guerrero, 29, has been picked by Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya to defeat Mayweather. De La Hoya was dethroned as WBC 154-pound titleholder by Mayweather in May of 2007.

Owner of a 15-bout winning streak that includes nine knockouts, Guerrero scored two knockdowns during November’s unanimous decision over two-time 147-pound titleholder Andre Berto in his last fight.

On the Mayweather-Guerrero undercard, rising two-division titlewinner Abner Mares (25-0, 13 KOs) will challenge WBC featherweight titleholder Daniel Ponce de Leon (44-4, 35 KOs).

In addition, Detroit prospect J’Leon Love (15-0, 8 KOs), who is coming off last month’s unanimous decision over Chicago’s Derek Findley, will face former junior middleweight Gabriel Rosado (21-6, 13 KOs).

Also, Leo Santa Cruz, who recently vacated his IBF bantamweight belt to enter the junior featherweight ranks, is targeted to face Venezuela’s Alexander Munoz (36-4, 28KOs).
