Ringing in fight night
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley nearly came to blows during the first stop of a whirlwind publicity tour at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square.
They began shoving each other before their promoters separated them. Mayweather and Mosley have been circling each other for years and their animosity has simmered.
They'll meet for real for the WBA welterweight title May 1 in Las Vegas.
HURTING HAAS A HAS-BEEN, FOR NOW
BERLIN -- German tennis player Tommy Haas faces a long absence from the ATP Tour after surgery on his right hi.
He said Tuesday that he had no alternative because "the pain's simply too great."
Germany's Bild daily reported, without citing sources, that Haas -- the winner of 12 career singles titles -- could be sidelined up to six months.
The 31-year-old top seed at the Delray Beach International Championships was upset in the first round last week.
PRO BOWL MAKES DATE WITH SUCCESS
HONOLULU -- The Pro Bowl will be played at Aloha Stadium next Jan. 30 --the Sunday before the Super Bowl. The Pro Bowl had historically been played in Honolulu the week after the Super Bowl, but was changed when the all-star game moved to Miami this year.
The NFL says playing the Pro Bowl before the big game generated greater excitement.
