Golden Boy Promotions' head matchmaker, Eric Gomez, is in Mexico City for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's Saturday defense against Kermit Cintron, and discussed Golden Boy's desire to put together a super-fight between welterweight champions Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather is scheduled for action on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Gomez told Sal Rodriguez that Top Rank and their CEO Bob Arum are not interested in matching Pacquiao against Mayweather.

"We got a letter on Monday on the part of Bob Arum, after the fight between Manny and Juan Manuel Marquez, and he said he wasn't interested in making a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. I think Manny Pacquiao wants to fight Mayweather and I think Bob Arum doesn't want the fight. We are willing to work with him, everyone wants the fight, but Top Rank doesn't," said Gomez.

If Pacquiao vs. Mayweather does not materialize, Gomez revealed that "Canelo" Alvarez and Erik Morales are candidates to fight Mayweather. Both of the Mexican fighters are looking to get a piece of Floyd Jr.

"Saul said he wants to fight with the biggest names. He says he's ready. This Saturday he has to prove to everyone that he is ready for those type of challenges. Erik is a warrior, and he does not turn away from anyone. He asked us for Mayweather. He said 'I know him well, we sparred and I have the style to beat him.' We then gave that information to Mayweather but he hasn't made any decisions," Gomez said.
