Top Rank CEO Bob Arum makes it clear that a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley is not a done deal, at least not yet. Mosley is among the three candidates being considered for Pacquiao's next fight, which Arum is targeting for April 16 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The two candidates are WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto and WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez.
Mosley in the obvious frontrunner to land the fight, but Arum needs to finalize the financial aspects of the deal when he meets with Pacquiao on December 14 in the Philippines. Sponors are already lining up to get involved with Pacquiao's next fight. The sponsors have made indications that Mosley is their preferred opponent for Pacquiao.
