Just in talking to some people (yesterday), I get the distinct feeling that jr. welterweight champion Tim Bradley is now in the lead to face Manny Pacquiao on June 9th, with Miguel Cotto making it crystal clear he will not move down to 147-pounds for a rematch.

Honestly, I have no problems with this fight, like I said earlier this week, I want fresh, new match-ups on the horizon.

As for Cotto, well, Floyd Mayweather seems to be natural, but unlike the likes of Victor Ortiz, Cotto commands a price tag of well over $2.5 million. That might be an issue.

- Speaking of which, Brandon Rios is now slated to go on April 14th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and the focus is on trying to bring Yuriorkis Gamboa to the dance. Top Rank is trying to seal this deal as we speak. .
