I hope it'll be Berto. But I feel its going to be Marquez.

both are better than mosley anyway

I think Pac did NOT choose Mosley!! If he did, Arum would have announced it immediately!! That ESPN Poll changed everything!! That poll had Marquez & Berto IN FRONT of Mosley!!! Notice after the results of that poll, the April 16th date changed to May 7th and Top Rank president tweeted that he had a respectful discussion with Golden Boy!! So I'm guessing Marquez is now the front-runner!!

However, there is ONE BIG PROBLEM!!! ESPN reported that Marquez & Golden Boy are requesting double the purse of what Marquez received from the Mayweather fight!! Golden Boy disguised it has a "buyout". Top Rank has to pay Marquez and also pay Golden Boy for stepping aside as promoter. So basically Golden Boy wants to get paid for DOING NOTHING!! That's a problem!!

Marquez may have priced himself out which leads me to believe it may be Berto. Supposedly Berto was asking for the smallest purse.

when will we know?

I don't see why Marquez would be the leading choice, unless Schaefer's latest email to Duboeuf involves Marquez dropping down his purse demand. We would've seen an article about that or something.
