      Apparently The Eagles are big boxing fans, now let's hope Golden Boy Promotions is too. Juan Manuel Marquez has agreed to face Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, but the fight can be blocked by Golden Boy holding the first right of refusal on any JMM fight.

      Pacman's promoter Bob Arum confirmed on Thursday that Marquez accepted the fight. To make the Pacquiao fight possible, the Mexican legend parted ways with Golden Boy. Pacquiao, who is suing GBP for demation, will not fight anyone officially promoted by Oscar De La Hoya's promotional company.

      If the fight goes down, the date is interesting because initially the MGM Grand Garden Arena was booked for an Eagles concert.

      According to Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Eagles willingly moved to Nov. 5 to open things up for the big fight.

      Golden Boy has until Monday at 3 p.m. PT to make a decision. Marquez will receive $9 million for the fight and there is a rematch clause in the contract if he beats Pacquiao.

      Chris Arreola's ample physique stood out during this photo opp with the fellas at the Red Bulls-Galaxy soccer game at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles.

      Thierry Henry is a surprisingly big dude, but the rest of the crew is dwarfed by the American heavyweight boxer.

      Give Arreola credit, as you can see below, he's a smart guy. There's nothing more slimming than hitting your local broadcast booth.

    • MayweatherHATFor his own self-preservation, Floyd Mayweather may want to come running back to the boxing ring. Fighting Manny Pacquiao isn't a safe proposition, but at least the eight week training camp would keep Floyd away from Las Vegas-area security guards and bouncers.

      Mayweather, who is already dealing with two security guard-related incidents, now has another one on his plate.

      According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Floyd's latest legal tussle involves a Las Vegas bouncer:

      [...] Mayweather and his companies are being sued by a bouncer at the Strip nightclub Drai's (Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon) after he was assaulted, the lawsuit said, by the boxer's bodyguard Jan. 2.

      In a lawsuit filed last week in Clark County District Court, Clay Gerling alleged that an unknown bodyguard for Mayweather "maliciously assaulted and battered plaintiff, by grabbing the plaintiff, and choking him."

      The Las Vegas Sun has more specifics:

      The suit said Gerling was working as a security guard and had

      You can pretty much scratch Floyd Mayweather off your Manny Pacquiao wish list. The fight isn't happening anytime soon.

      Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum said Mayweather knows who to call and right now it looks like "Money" doesn't want to fight Pacman.

      "He knows us," Arum said of Mayweather. "If he had any desire to fight Manny Pacquiao, he would call Todd [duBoef, Top Rank president] and tell us. We have that kind of relationship with him.

      "He said if he comes back, he wants a tune-up fight. If that's the case, it wouldn't be until next year that he would be available [to fight Pacquiao]."

      Mayweather might be interested in facing newly crowned WBC welterweight champ Victor Ortiz. The rumor is Mayweather would face Ortiz at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas on Sept. 17. Assuming the NFL lockout ends and the season starts on time, the Cowboys are on the road in San Francisco on Sept. 18.

      So that leaves three options for Manny Pacquiao - Juan Manuel Marquez, Timothy Bradley and Zab Judah.

    • Shane Mosley's no rookie. The former lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight champ was involved in the 21st title fight of his career on Saturday against Manny Pacquiao, but even with 53 fights under his belt, "Sugar" Shane was shocked by what he felt in the third round.

      Mosley said Pacman's punch was as hard as any shot he's ever felt as a pro. That was just the third time Mosley was on the deck.

      Keep in mind, Mosley has been in there with several guys who walked into the ring around 170 pounds on the night of their respective fight including Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, Fernando Vargas, Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright. It was 149-pound Pacquiao who hit him the hardest.

      Mosley said it threw him off the rest of the way. If he'd opened up, Mosley felt like he was walking into a trap. Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said he was disappointed in Mosley's approach and thinks it's time Sugar Shane walks away.

      "I don't think he tried to win the fight. I think he just tried
