LOS ANGELES (AP) -Oscar De La Hoya thinks his promotions company will soon wrap up a deal for Floyd Mayweather to fight Sugar Shane Mosley in May.
And after that, De La Hoya still believes Mayweather will fight Manny Pacquiao in the near future.
De La Hoya weighed in on the state of the welterweight division Tuesday at a news conference to announce the next fight for Victor Ortiz, one of his junior welterweight proteges.
De La Hoya, who runs Golden Boy Promotions with Richard Schaefer, says Mayweather and Golden Boy partner Mosley are in negotiations to meet May 1, likely in Las Vegas.
De La Hoya also believes Pacquiao eventually will agree to Mayweather's stringent drug-testing demands, which scuttled their proposed March 13 fight.
