Floyd Mayweather plans to do his porridge and then make mincemeat of Amir Khan. The unbeaten American begins a 90-day jail term on June 1, after being found guilty back in December of assaulting his former partner. But rather than heading straight for clink, a judge has allowed his light-middleweight showdown with Miguel Cotto to go ahead on Saturday and his prison stint will follow. Las Vegas is suffering in the recession and cannot afford to lose the business Mayweather brings the world’s fight capital. It is felt he will serve a fraction of his sentence and then box again this autumn — Amir Khan topping his wanted-list. Mayweather said: “Even when I go away, the only thing it can do is make me grow mentally stronger for who ever I fight next. It is all part of life. “You take the good with the bad and the bad with the good. There are certain obstacles that get in your way, but you have to remain strong. “Ask my family and those closest. They will always tell you I turn a negative into a positive. Many of my opponents have found that out already.” Mayweather v Cotto is live on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 456/Virgin Ch. 546).
