On Thursday, this press release was sent out:  LAS VEGAS, NEV. – Today, Federal Magistrate Judge Robert Johnston denied an Emergency Motion filed by Floyd Mayweather Jr. and ordered Mayweather to give sworn testimony under oath, beginning tomorrow, June 17. Mayweather is being sued by pound-for-pound champion and Congressman Manny Pacquiao, based on Mayweather's defamatory statements accusing Pacquiao of taking performance-enhancing drugs.  

Folks, if you think that just because Mayweather is facing a left-handed fighter in Victor Ortiz is some sort of precursor for a showdown between he and Manny Pacquiao, I think there a lot of hurdles to be cleared to make this bout a reality- and this is certainly one of them.

Until this is resolved, one way or another, I don't think Pacquiao-Mayweather takes place. And then you have the personal feelings that exist between Mayweather, Al Haymon and Arum to sort out.
