The best pound-for-pound fighter in the world (Sorry, Floyd Mayweather), Manny Pacquiao, steps in the ring Saturday night (HBO PPV) in search of his eighth title in eight different weight classes, squaring off against Antonio Margarito for the WBC Super Welterweight championship.

When he’s not training for fights, Pacquiao is a congressional representative of the Sarangani province, which has been a distraction in the eyes of trainer Freddie Roach.

Distractions or no distractions, Pacquiao will be focused on the task at hand when the bell rings from Cowboys Stadium.

Pacquiao chatted with BET.com after arriving in Los Angeles from the Philippines and talks about his future in the sport of boxing and if he will ever fight Mayweather.

BET.com: How is training camp coming along?

Manny Pacquiao: It’s good. We were able to train in the Philippines for three weeks and came here for the last three weeks.

Are the reports about you having distractions in training camp accurate?

It depends on who you ask. If you ask my trainer and my conditioning coach, then yes. I think they feel there are distractions because they are not comfortable in the Philippines. They are homesick I think. For me, it’s part of my life and part of my job. It is my responsibility to do these things.

Are you and Freddie Roach on the same page in terms of training for this fight?

Yes, I think so. We have had discussions when we have been in the gym and we are doing a good job in the gym.

Any concern about the size advantage that Antonio Margarito has?

We prepared for the fight against Margarito. I think he’s a bigger fighter but my speed, quickness and power will be enough to control the fight and I will be able to show my skills.

Who is the better singer: Manny Pacquiao or Will Ferrell?

Oh my god. [Laughs] I think hopefully me. If he’s better than me … yeah. Wow. Hopefully me.  I had lots of fun. It’s my third time there [On Jimmy Kimmel].

Why do you think Amir Khan should fight Floyd Mayweather?

I think it would be a good fight for Amir. His style is fast and he has some power. He’s a good amateur boxer and Floyd was an amateur fighter.

Do you think Khan would win the fight?

Yes, I think if those two fought, it would be a great fight, but with Amir, he might win that fight.

How much longer do you see yourself fighting?

Maybe another three or four fights. It depends on who the opponents are. At this point in my career, I don’t need to fight for money. It’s more about giving back to the fans because they have been so good to me with the De La Hoya, Hatton and Cotto fights. I need to give back to the fans because they are the ones that make Manny Pacquiao, Manny Pacquiao.

Is there something else you want to prove in your last 3-4 fights?

I don’t need to prove anything, anymore. I just need to keep proving to the fans that I will fight the best and I’m willing to fight whoever, whenever. Hopefully we can get the Mayweather fight done.

Is that something your camp is working on?

I don’t know. My job is to train and win the fights.

With Manny Pacquiao preparing for Antonio Margarito this weekend on HBO pay-per-view, Floyd Mayweather was issued a restraining order by a Las Vegas court, ordering the boxer to stay away from his ex-girlfriend and two sons.

Mayweather wasn’t required in court on Tuesday when Justice of the Peace Diana Sullivan issued the order and is giving Floyd a week to pay $31,000 in bail.

If convicted on all eight misdemeanor and felony charges, Mayweather faces up to 34 years in prison.

Even though he’s not due back in court until January, the odds of Mayweather fighting Pacquiao are slipping away.

With Pacquiao slowly winding down his career and Mayweather possibly facing the end of his due to his legal trouble, it would make sense for both fighters to get in the ring as soon as possible.

Check back later this week for an exclusive interview with Manny Pacquiao, where he discusses one day taking on Mayweather in the ring.

Last week Floyd Mayweather got in trouble for his mouth.

This week, Mayweather’s in trouble allegedly for his hands.

The Las Vegas Metro Police Department are looking for Mayweather to talk to him about a possible domestic violence incident with his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris.

“She alleges he hit her,” said Officer Barbara Morgan, a Las Vegas police spokeswoman. “We’re looking for him to get his side of the story. We’re looking to talk to him as a potential suspect.”

TMZ.com is reporting that Harris was treated at the hospital and is back home.

Mayweather and Harris have quite the legal history together. In 2003, Mayweather was accused of punching and kicking Harris. Charges were filed but they were dismissed in 2005 after Harris testified she lied about the incident.

The 33-year-old undefeated boxer has been in the news recently after a 10-minute racial rant directed toward Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather later apologized for his comments.

You might not know the name Timothy Bradley but he’s easily one of the most underrated boxers in the sport.

The undefeated Bradley, who hasn’t been shy about calling out fighters (scroll down to see who exactly), is moving up to welterweight to take on Luis Carlos Abregu Saturday night at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, Calif. on HBO – - his first fight on the network.

The 25-0 Bradley was widely considered the top 140-pounder but moved up in weight class to seek out better competition.

I had the chance to talk to Bradley prior to his fight on Saturday about a possible junior welterweight tournament and a possible fight with Devon Alexander.

MV: How is training camp coming along?

TB: Training camp is coming along well. I’m on weight and I ‘m feeling good. I had my last sparing day on Saturday (July 10). Feeling real ready and focused for this fight.

MV: What advantage do you have fighting in your backyard at Agua Caliente Casino?

TB: The advantage I have is all the people are there for me. They are there to see you perform. They chant my name, ‘Bradley! Bradley!’ It hypes me up and I feel the energy. I get the energy from the crowd. When I feel a little bit tired, they rev me up and it pumps me up to keep going and try to win. If I could fight every fight there, I would.

MV: What one arena would you like to fight at?

TB: I would love to fight at the Staples Center. I would love to have a big fight at the Staples Center. I would love to fight in Vegas. I have been trying to get to Vegas for six years now. I still haven’t got to Vegas … Vegas would probably be the highlight. Or even Dallas Stadium, I would love to fight at Dallas Stadium. I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan. I would love to fight in my stadium.

MV: What’s the difference on your end from moving to HBO from Showtime?

TB: Just bigger paydays and a broader viewing audience. More people have HBO than Showtime. That’s what I have been hearing so a lot more people will be watching me perform. That’s the difference.

MV: Do you feel any pressure to look impressive against Luis Carlos Abregu?

TB: Nah. I don’t worry about looking impressive. I know how to fight. I’m just going to go in there and win. That’s my job. A lot of people put a lot of pressure on themselves because they try to look good first and try to win second. I just try to win. Any way necessary, it doesn’t really matter to me. It doesn’t matter if I look good or not, as long as I get the victory at the end of the night. That’s all that matters to me.

MV: Assuming you win, would you like to fight Devon Alexander?

TB: Absolutely. Let’s do it. I have been talking to my promoters and manager, Cameron Duncan, and we definitely want to set this fight up at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. No doubt.

MV: What’s the transition been like in moving up in weight classes?

TB: Just eating more. Trying to eat more. Once you get into good shape and your metabolism speeds up, it’s hard to keep the weight on. So I have been eating a lot. A lot more pasta and bigger portions. It’s been fun because I haven’t had to starve or anything like that so it’s been cool. A lot of strength training as well … lifting weights and just trying to get strong.

MV: Your promoter Gary Shaw is pitching a junior welterweight tournament. Thoughts?

TB: Let’s do it. Let’s make this happen. Let’s put the names of the top guys in a hat and let’s do it a draw. Whoever I draw, if I draw Devon [Alexander], that’s who I will fight. If I draw Amir [Khan], that’s who I will fight. It’s going to be hard because you have four different promoters. I think it will be a little bit harder for this one. Having different promoters and they have different goals and mindsets for their fighters. I’m not sure if that will go. I know Alexander is in. I’m in. I don’t think Amir Khan is in. I know [Marcos] Maidana would probably like to be in it. I’m not sure what Golden Boy has planned for any of those guys. I’m all for it. Let’s do it.

MV: Are the promoters the hold up?

TB: The fighters will fight anybody. A lot of boxing fans don’t realize that. We will fight anybody. It’s mainly business.

MV: Who would you like to fight at welterweight?

TB: Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Those are the two fighters that I would love to face sometime in my career. They are the best fighters in the game right now. Floyd is the best fighter that ever laced up the gloves and if I could be in the ring with that guy, I’d accomplish my goal.

MV: Do you think Mayweather-Pacquiao will happen this year?

TB: No. Not at all. I don’t think it will happen this year. Mayweather just had a fight so I think he’s going to wait until next year to fight. He only fights once a year, that’s all he pretty much needs. Possibly next year the fight could go on but it’s going to be hard to make that fight if no one gives in the agreement. Everybody has to give a little bit. You have to give a little to take a little.

MV: Are you against Floyd’s drug testing policy?

TB: They can test me. I ain’t on nothing, man. I’m on G-O-D, man.  Needles don’t bother me. I’m not afraid of drug testing. I think it’s smart. There are a lot of athletes out there that use enhancements. I think it’s a good thing for boxing, especially a fight of that magnitude. You definitely want to be on the same playing field. I understand where he’s coming from. Let’s make it fair.

MV: Are you on Twitter?

TB: Nah man, I don’t do all the Twitter stuff. I just don’t have the time for all of that. I’m more of a family man. Can’t be sitting on the phone tweeting all day.

Newly elected Filipino congressman Manny Pacquiao will next fight on Nov. 13.

Will Floyd Mayweather be his opponent?

“The fight we want to do is the Mayweather fight,” Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said. “There is no question that is the fight the public wants. I’m very optimistic once we start we will conclude this time [but] you never know.”

Boxing fans were led on earlier this year as negotiations took place between Pacquiao and Mayweather for a megafight in March.

But Mayweather’s stipulation for Olympic style drug testing derailed talks and Pacquiao fought Joshua Clottey at Cowboys Stadium instead.

This fight has to happen. Not just because there’s too much money on the line for both boxers but they are running out of opponents at the welterweight division.

Neither fighter wants a piece of Paul Williams, the lanky boxer that defeated Kermit Cintron by split decision last weekend.

Shane Mosley was exposed at the hands of Mayweather and a fight between him and Pacquiao would be as lopsided as his unanimous decision loss two weeks ago.

Pencil in Nov. 13 for Mayweather-Pacquiao but cross your fingers that the two sides can work out their differences and give boxing fans what they have been wanting to see.

LAS VEGAS – Floyd “Money” Mayweather’s career took another step towards greatness Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Shaking off a fury of punches in Round 2 from Shane Mosley, Mayweather dominated the 38-year-old boxer en route to a unanimous 12-round victory.

For the first time in his career, Mayweather appeared to be hurt in Round 2 as Mosley landed a series of dominating shots and combinations.

But the fight was all Mayweather’s following the second round, using his rarely seen offensive skills and confuse Mosley for the rest of the evening.

With the victory, Mayweather improves to 41-0.

“Mayweather, by far is the very best,” Oscar De La Hoya said. “Mayweather is special and we have to respect that.”

Are we one step closer to seeing Mayweather take on Manny Pacquiao?

“If Manny Pacquiao can take a blood and urine test then we have a fight,” Mayweather said. “If not, no fight.”

Don’t get your hopes up for that dream fight just yet…

Boxing fans can watch the non-televised undercard for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley fight below – enjoy!

With less than 12 hours away before the Mayweather-Mosley fight tonight, celebs and athletes are chiming in on who they think will tonight’s fight.

“I like the weather in what month? May. Put it together – Mayweather.”

- George Wallace, comedian and Las Vegas headliner

“I am a fan of BOTH of these amazing fighters, but in boxing, there can only be ONE TRUE winner. So if I had to bet the farm on it…”Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather is going to win. Sorry Sugar, but not this time.”

- Tichina Arnold, actress, “Everybody Hates Chris”

“I’m going with Money Mayweather in 12!”

- DJ Drama, critically acclaimed Hip-Hop DJ

“I’m for Shane Mosley…He must do the right preparation. If he does, then he has a very good chance against Mayweather.”

- Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao, WBO Welterweight World Champion

“I believe Shane will impose his strength and speed in the early rounds, but after the first few rounds Floyd will adapt and figure Shane out, and start picking his shots as the fight goes on and Shane starts to slow down. Mayweather will win by decision.”

- Andre “The Beast” Berto, WBC Welterweight Champion

“Shane’s my friend and I hope he wins, but he has trouble with speed and movement and likes guys to come to him so it’s going to be difficult.”

- Freddie Roach, Trainer of Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan

“Magic votes for Floyd all the way!”

- Magic Johnson, Five-Time NBA Champion, Three-Time NBA MVP, Twelve-Time NBA All-Star, Three-Time NBA Finals MVP

“Mayweather in a decision. He [Mayweather] is a smaller guy who can dance. Mosley can’t let him hit him.”

- Charles Barkley, 11-Time NBA All-Star and TNT/NBA TV basketball analyst

“Mayweather KO in the 9th. He is in his prime and blazing it right now. I see his strength, speed and endurance being just too much for Mosley. Mayweather is a beast!”

- Caron Butler, Two-Time NBA All-Star Forward, Dallas Mavericks

“Mayweather is the master of not getting hit. His quickness and defense will be too much for Shane to match.”

- B.J. Upton, Center Fielder, Tampa Bay Rays

“Sugar” Shane Mosley will attempt to do something no other fighter has been able to accomplish – - defeat Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Mosley, a 4:1 underdog, takes on Mayweather Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on HBO PPV.

The 38-year-old welterweight hasn’t fought since a convincing victory over Antonio Margaraito last January in Los Angeles.

He will look to shake off the rust and beat the 40-0 Mayweather, who has taken his cheap shots at Mosley leading up to their encounter.

Mosley chatted with BET.com earlier this week about his fight this weekend:

How did training camp go for this fight?

Training camp was very good. I loved being in camp with Nazim Richardson and the guys.

Do you have any concerns about your long layoff from the ring?

Nah, I don’t have any worries about that. I feel like I’m in a great shape and I’m ready to go on May 1st.

Can you explain why you accused Floyd Mayweather’s bodyguards of being on steroids?

Yeah, they kind of look like it. They might be on steroids since they [Floyd's camp] are talking about steroids so much. I don’t know if it’s true or not but it sure looks like it.

How is training camp different with Nazim Richardson as your trainer?

It’s much different … Nazim loves the sport. He loves to train and loves to break down film. He’s a great guy at what he does and it works.

Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr. and Evander Holyfield all fought in April and are in their 40s. Do you see yourself fighting into your 40s?

I don’t know … if someone allows me to, I’ll fight.

In HBO’s 24/7, we learned about your passion for bowling. What’s your highest score?

My highest score in bowling is 242.

Catching Up With … Floyd Mayweather

We are less than 48 hours away from Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday night. (HBO PPV)

Mayweather puts his undefeated record on the line against a resurgent Mosley, who has flourished later in his great career.

When it comes to charisma, there’s nobody on the level as Mayweather, who shines once again on the latest season of the hit HBO series “24/7.”

Mayweather answered questions from BET.com regarding Mosley’s trash talking and his stance on a drug policy in the sport of boxing:

What are your thoughts on Shane Mosley’s accusations that you “dibbles and dabbles” in steroids and him questioning your sexuality?

Well, we all know that Shane Mosley was on steroids. That’s a fact. Obviously he’s got to deflect some attention off of himself. He can make up whatever he wants, but when Mosley starts talking trash, I know I’m in his head. I want to draw him in, and start the back and forth, and I’ve been able to do just that. I’ve already got Shane off his game.

Why is cleaning up the sport of boxing such a priority for you?

I want to show the world that boxing is a clean sport, and that the best in the world aren’t on steroids. I’m 100 percent clean. I don’t need anything besides hard work and dedication to get ahead. Every time you step in that ring you’re risking your life. People die in the ring. This is a dangerous sport. So it’s time for us to step up and say, we’re clean athletes. That’s what I have done.

Since cleaning up boxing is a priority, did you have any concerns about fighting Shane Mosley, who was linked to BALCO in 2003?

Shane stepped up to the plate and agreed to both blood and urine testing. With this testing, if you’re on something, you’re going to be caught. If he was still on something, they would find it.

Do you think you have got into Shane’s head now that he has resorted to trash talking?

Of course. Like I said, Shane is completely out of character right now. He’s almost 40 years old and he’s getting tattoos. He’s trash talking. Shane Mosley never used to talk trash. This is what I do to fighters. This is what I do to opponents. I’m in his head already, and on fight night I’m going to finish the job.

Why don’t you want to fight for the WBA title? Do you think you’re diminishing the sport by not showing any interest in being the champ?

I’m the best fighter in the sport. I don’t need a belt to prove that. This fight is about legacy. It’s about proving who the best fighter of this era is. Getting a belt for beating Shane Mosley is not going to mean anything at the end of the day.

What in your career makes you a greater fighter Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson?

I have a lot of respect for Muhammad Ali, for Sugar Ray Robinson, and for all the great fighters that came before. But what makes them any better than I am? Why would I devote my entire life to something and not believe that I am truly the best at it. I’m 40-0 and I’ve beat everyone they have put in front of me. I am the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

Assuming you never step in the ring with Manny Pacquiao, what else do you want to accomplish in your career?

I have nothing left to prove. Now it’s all about adding wins to my legacy, and on May 1, Shane Mosley is going on my resume. All the fans have got to tune-in because I’m bring my best. I know Shane is going to bring his best. It’s going to be one hell of a show.
