LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd
Mayweather Jr. and Manny
Pacquiao weighed in below the
welterweight limit Friday before a
packed arena of screaming, singing
fans anticipating the landmark bout.

drafted on Day Two
CHICAGO (AP) — The
show stoppers Thursday
night at the NFL draft were
two Hall of Famers: Jim
Kelly and Dick Butkus.
The legendary former
players were on hand to
announce the second-round
selections for the Bills
and Bears, respectively.
Kelly’s appearance was
spell-binding, and after a
lengthy standing ovation,
he told the audience that he
is cancer free.
“I want to thank everyone
all over the world, espe-
cially my NFL family, for
all of your prayers,” Kelly
said before announcing

50 overall. “Last year I was
in the hospital not knowing
if I would be here this year.”
In June 2013, Kelly
had surgery to remove
cancerous cells in his upper
MDZ7KHFDQFHUWKHQVSUHDG
to his sinus and he was in a
weakened state following
two months of treatments
last spring.
But he said Friday, “I

was cleared after an MRI
two weeks ago. I am cancer
free. I am having a great
time.”
It’s not easy to outdo
Butkus in the Windy City,
but Kelly did so, drawing
yet another huge cheer.
Earlier, Butkus took the
stage. Arguably the most
beloved football player in
this Bears-crazy town, 50
years after he played, his
star still shines as brightly
as those of Michael Jordan,
Ernie Banks and Bobby
Hull — his counterparts
in basketball, baseball and
hockey.

the hysterical audience that

tackle Jake Fisher.
Four
players
with
checkered resumes also
went Friday: wide receiver
Dorial
Green-Beckham,
cornerbacks Jalen Collins
and P.J.
Williams and
linebacker Randy Gregory.
With the pick it got in a
deal with the Giants, who
moved up seven spots to
begin the round by grab-
bing Alabama All-America
safety Landon Collins,
the Titans took all of two
seconds to select Green-
Beckham. Tennessee went
quarterback in the opening
round with Heisman Trophy
winner Marcus Mariota,
and has added a tall,
playmaking option in the
6-foot-5 Green-Beckham.
Of course, that’s if he
straightens out his life.
He was kicked off
the Missouri team after
several run-ins with the
law, enrolled last year at
Oklahoma and could not
get NCAA permission to
play there in 2014.
Mannion drafted
by Rams
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The
St. Louis Rams added
depth at quarterback,
taking Oregon State’s
Sean Mannion with
their second pick of
the third round on
Friday night.
The Rams drew
criticism for lacking
a successor to Sam
Bradford last year.
When Bradford was
sidelined with a knee
injury in the presea-
son, backups Shaun
Hill and Austin Davis
split time.
The 6-foot-6,
229-pound Mannion
was the 89th overall
pick, one pick later
than current Rams
starter Nick Foles
was selected in 2012.
Mannion set 18
passing records at
Oregon State and
set the Pac-12 record
for passing yards as
a senior. He totaled
13,600 yards, eighth
most in Division I
history.
“Not having football
has had an effect on him,”
Titans general manager
Ruston Webster said. “He
went to Oklahoma and
handled himself well and
stayed out of trouble ....
He was basically a scout
team practice player so that
was my impression that he
understands he probably
made some mistakes, and

to play football he had to do
the right thing.”

years of negotiations and posturing
between the unbeaten Mayweather
and the popular Pacquiao, the
two most prominent boxers of the
past half-decade. Fans have been
begging for the bout since Pacquiao
established himself as a legitimate
welterweight power in 2009 by
stopping Miguel Cotto.
Mayweather’s initial demands
about drug testing and an unex-
plained reluctance kept them apart
until this year, when the money to
be made became too great to ignore.
The matchup sparked worldwide
interest well outside of boxing’s
normal sphere, but the weigh-in
crowd appeared to be made up of
