He says the Nevada legislature had adopted a new rule that would not disqualify a fighter who had a previous brain bleed. They'll license a fighter on a case by case basis. The Nevada commission will vote on that rule change late July and he is optimistic that they will approve that change. Once they do that, Valero, as is the case with any other fighter, will apply for a license, have an MRI and Top Rank anticipates he will pass the medical scrutiny and will then get his Nevada license.

Dan Rafael, who has Bob Arum with him on his chat. Now that Mayweather-Marquez has been pushed back, they're considering putting Casamayor-Valero on the undercard, although Valero is currently prohibited from getting a boxing license in Nevada. If it happens, it's probably the best undercard fight on a major PPV card in years.

More tidbits from the chat:

- Cotto-Pacquiao would be at the MGM Grand and would be for Cotto’s welterweight title

- Kelly Pavlik in Atlantic City on October 3, probably against Felix Sturm or Carl Froch. Sergio Mora looks unlikely

- Juanma will stay at 122 this year, and move to 126 next year

- No fights for Margarito until his California ban is lifted

The chat this week was a lot juicier than the notebook, which didn’t say much that we hadn’t already posted here.

If Casamayor-Valero gets made, all this waiting is gonna be so, so worth it.

Really, really hoping that his fight with Mora is put aside in favor of Sturm or Froch.
