Bob Arum of Top Rank is pushing for the fight between WBC lightweight champion Edwin Valero and WBC super featherweight champ Humberto Soto to take place on the November 14 undercard to Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto. Ricardo Jiminez of Top Rank said Arum wants the fight but bothe fighters want the right kind of money and talks are ongoing.

"Arum aready began the negotiations. It is the fight that wants Arum. It's a bit complicated because we have to accommodate both fighters financially based on what they want because it's going to be a great fight," Jiminez told The Record.

Valero is still medically suspended in every state except for Texas. New exams are being submitted and hopefully he gets cleared for a ring return. Valero was medically suspended in 2004 when an MRI revealed a brain bleed that stemmed from an motorcycle accident.

"We are going to put in some quick exams and God willing, I will be ready to fight in Las Vegas against the best. I consider Soto one of the best so it should be a good fight," Valero said.

Soto has a title defense in September but he wants to face Valero in November.

"My first objective is to get past my next defense that is set for September 15 in Monterrey and then we will see about Valero. It is a fight that I would like but we will have to see," Soto said.
