Negotiations continue between the sides representing Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) and Saul Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs), who hope to meet on May 2nd, 2015.
Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com - "I met with [Golden Boy Promotions President] Oscar [De La Hoya] and had a talk with him. Oscar's talking to 'Canelo', hopefully we'll come closer to a resolution."
Arum made it clear that this fight will take place on -''Cinco de Mayo weekend.''
The other question is just where it will land?
"Well, both fighters are saying wherever we can earn the most, that's where we'll go irrespective of geographic location," explained Arum.
The contenders are Las Vegas and Arlington, Texas where AT&T Stadium is located. Back in 2010, the home of the Dallas Cowboys hosted a pair of Manny Pacquiao.
The question is, can Jerry Jones match financially will be put forth by a casino in 'Sin City'?
"Yeah, they'll exceed what Vegas can put up," said Arum, who says there is a bit of an issues with the availability of the venue in Texas. "The problem is with Cowboys Stadium is that they have another event on May 2nd."
