So far we have Juan Diaz calling Pacquiao out in November of 2007...Pacquiao choosing to fight JMM instead in March 2008 (can't blame him there, no brainer)...and Nate Campbell beating Juan Diaz for the belts in March 2008.
Since Pac and Campbell fought in the exact same month their schedules lined up perfectly. That would have been the time to schedule their fight. But Pac picked David Diaz instead.

Hell, even David Diaz was a bigger money fight than Nate Campbell. Diaz was coming off a win over Erik Morales on HBO PPV. Nate Campbell vs Juan Diaz was an undercard fight.
You’ve literally answered your own question mate...

But David Diaz beating a shot Erik Morales who had lost 4 of his last 5 fights didn't make him some big draw.
