GL: What's the status of the Cotto-Mosley fight?
BA: "That's coming along very nicely. I'm waiting for Richard Schaeffer to get back from vacation next week. He'll be back on Tuesday. He's been dealing with the Mosley's and I've been dealing with the Cotto's. Hopefully when he gets back we'll be able to compare notes and to announce the fight together. Until I have that meeting by phone with Richard, I can't say that the fight is definitely on."
GL: Do all indications point towards it happening at the Garden in November?
BA: "Yes."
GL: Any word on Margarito's potential return?
BA: "We're talking to one of the networks about a Margarito fight for the beginning of December and the possible opponent we'd like to explore is Zab Judah."
GL: I talked to Josh Clottey earlier and he told me that he's ready to mix it up with any of Top Rank's top welterweights, or any top welterweight. What's the gameplan for Clottey?
BA: "Once he gets through with his fight on August 9 we're going to sit down with him and see where he wants to go next. You know Paul Williams is going to need a dance partner."
GL: Is there anything you'd like to say in closing?
BA: "The fans are going to have a lot of great competitive fights to look forward to. Taylor-Pavlik, hopefully Cotto and Mosley, Mayweather and Hatton, Guzman and Soto, Barrera and Pacquiao. It should be a very enjoyable time for the fight fans."
