PrintPacquiao will fight this September or November | Boxing Talk
In an interview by Greg Leon, Bob Arum stated that Manny Pacquiao is definitely fighting again this year. If he loses the election, it will likely be in September, while if he wins the election, it will likely be in November. Arum also mentions that he doesn't know what's going on with Edwin Valero outside of published reports, and that he might float the idea of a Pavlik-Margarito fight in the future.
Bradley-Maidana postponed | Palm Springs Desert Sun
Due to an undisclosed injury to Marcos Maidana, his title shot against Timothy Bradley has been postponed from its original June 19 date. No word on when it might be rescheduled other than that the promoters are looking at a July date, but presumably it would need to be fit into HBO's schedule.
Real Sports to air piece on deaths of Gatti, Arguello and Forrest | Rapping Sports
Tonight at 10 p.m., HBO will be airing a piece on Real Sports regarding the controversial deaths of Arturo Gatti, Alexis Arguello and Vernon Forrest. In other news, white people love Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.
Eamonn Magee arrested for death threats | BBC
Troubled Irish fighter and long-time Commonwealth light welterweight titlist Eamonn Magee is in hot water once again. This time, he was arrested for threatening to kill his ex-wife and another ex-girlfriend. In the past couple years, he's been charged with harrassment multiple times, smashing up a car, stealing, and headbutting a man in a bar fight. While he never officially retired, I think it's safe to say his career is effectively over.
Shiro Kameda banned indefinitely for antics | Mainichi
Shiro Kameda, father of Koki, Daiki and Tomoki Kameda and owner of a gym in Japan, has had his licenses revoked indefinitely. The most recent incident stemmed from making threats against the WBC and the JBC after his son's loss to Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. It was the first fight he had been allowed back in his son's corner after serving a two-year suspension for instructing Daiki to intentionally foul Daisuke Naito.
Perez-Leon to be on Mayweather-Mosley undercard | The Californian
Eloy Perez, who recently signed a promotional deal with Golden Boy, will face Gilberto Sanchez Leon on the undercard of Mayweather-Mosley. No word on whether this will be the fourth televised bout. Perez, 15-0-2, has fought on a number of Fight Night Club cards, and is one of Shane Mosley's sparring partners for this camp. Leon is 21-6-2, but is ranked by some sanctioning bodies after defeating Carlos Yanez.
Prizefighter cruiserweights II announced | South London Press
For those not familar with the Prizefighter format, it has an eight fighter single-elimination tournament with three round fights where the fighters face each other back to back to back. The winner usually gets a shot at the Commonwealth title. The participants include Herbie Hide, Darren Corbett, John Anthony, Wayne Brooks, Jon-Lewis Dickinson, Zahid Kahut, Mark Krence and Leon Williams. Most of these guys are pretty inexperienced, and Hide has to be the heavy, heavy favorite. However, considering Hide's chin, as well as the fact that this tournament setup rewards aggression, anything is possible.
Zab Judah to face Demyanenko next? | Fight News
Zab Judah's next bout might be against undefeated welterweight prospect Vitaliy Demyanenko. Demyanenko is ranked by three of the four santioning bodies, so this could be a good way to move up the rankings, although I'm not quite sure how the fight financially makes sense. If Judah were to fight and defeat Demyanenko, by default, it would be his best win since 2005.

It will never happen, but the idea of Margarito fighting Pavlik is beyond ridiculous. I mean, I think Margarito should be banned for life, but putting him in with Pavlik is only a notch or two below a death sentence.
I wonder if there’s any chance Pacman’s next fight could be outside the US? Two of his possible opponents, per Arum, have licensing issues (Valero and Margarito).
I think that was just Arum's wish list
If Mayweather wins, it will probably be Mayweather. If he doesn’t, he’ll probably defend his 140 pound championship. By that time, Bradley might even be a big enough name for that fight to be feasible.

I’m guessing there’s no way Texas won’t license Margarito for a Pacquiao-Margarito fight.

Hey, sounds good to me. Provided that Margarito doesn’t get much of a payday, that’s the only fight of his that I would get behind.
Fair enough. I guess mostly I don’t like it for Pavlik, except maybe as a stay-busy bout in between meaningful fights. And after what Mosley did to Margarito, he might just go down quick anyway.

Does this mean that Judah is a certified gatekeeper now?
Silly Zab.

HBO?
It’s 10 pm and they’re not showing Real Sports. Are you sure it’s tonight?

Nevermind.
Apparently it’s not going to air on HBO Canada. Interesting, considering I saw the ads for it during the Quintana fight.

Real Sports was tough to watch. I could have done without the murder pictures.
Moe: No, the ocean. Once you get 12 miles out there's no laws at all. That's where they held the Tyson-Secretariat fight (Slaughter in the Water)
Homer: Ha ha ha, they were so drunk
pretty much my thoughts exactly. i was purposely avoiding seeing any pictures of gatti’s body up until that point, and they just had to do it.

It's possible
But I doubt it myself.

Quite possibly
He needs the money, and he would quite easily beat everyone there, including Hide.

We are talking about USS Cunningham here?
I am actually surprised that he would lower himself to such a level of competition. It’s even a little sad that he has to considering his ability, Don King has a lot to answer for concerning the way he has “managed” that career.
If he does enter that competition it will almost be funny to watch how easily he walks through the rest of the fighters.

He's not eligible to anyway
So it doesn’t matter.
Now that he’s not with Don King, hopefully he’ll get more active. He’s supposedly fighting Troy Ross next, which actually isn’t a great matchup for him. Frankly, if I were him, I’d sign with a German promoter – he’d probably make a lot more that way.
