Marvin Sonsona fought Alejandro Hernandez at Rumble at Rama X in Rama, Ontario to a draw on Saturday. Sonsona was stripped of his WBO Super Flyweight title earlier for not making weight. Since his last fight, he has gained two inches in height and wasn't able to get down to 115. He plans on moving up to the super bantamweight division for his next fight.

HT: TSN

Well that didn't take too long, but should have been foreseeable. In Ontario, weigh-ins are still on the same day as the fight, so it's a little tougher to drain enough anyway. Sonsona is huge for a super flyweight, and he'll likely be skipping bantamweight completely and moving up to super bantamweight, setting up a potential fight with Steve Molitor. Tonight, he'll still face Alejandro Hernandez on TSN at Casino Rama, but only Hernandez will be able to come home with a belt, if he wins. Molitor will be keeping busy on the undercard.

Rey Colón of the ´El Vocero´ of Puerto Rico reported that the welterweight mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto generated approximately 2 million pay-per-view buys generating at least $120 million. No word on what Pacquiao´s cut will be but Cotto was mentioned to be making at least $10 million minimum.
This would be really surprising if true. Especially since Arum said around 1.5 mill earlier

"I just got off the phone with (Golden Boys Promotions CEO) Richard Schaeffer," Greenburg said. "He told me point-blank that Bob Arum would be getting that call on Monday and plans to come in and meet with Bob next to week to make the Mayweather fight.

He would get soundly beaten by Cotto I think and it would probably have to be at welterweight which we all know is no good for Ricky. If he does come back then he should be looking at the likes of Diaz/Marquez at light welterweight.

On Tuesday, the ESPN "sports investigative show" did a piece about Gatti's alleged suicide. I thought it was pretty good, though it is a bit disturbing. there are some clips of the police taking Gatti's body out of the hotel room in a body bag, as well as photos of him lying on his floor dead (though they didn't show his face).

The oracle has spoken? He's usually pretty accurate with his predictions.
