Southpaw WBO welterweight king Manny Pacquiao postponed last weekend's mega-meeting with Nike due to a previously-scheduled family vacation, according to the eight-division titlist's promoter, Top Rank CEO, Bob Arum.

"It was just that Manny couldn't make it because he had promised his family a one-week vactation with them at this beach resort," said Arum, of a June 18 meeting.

"But they're working on it. It's a huge, huge merchadise deal for all over the world," said Arum. "It was supposed to happen on June 18. But we had to postpone that meeting until sometime in July."
