Top Rank CEO Bob Arum plans to speak with Miguel Cotto this week to possibly finalize a fight with unbeaten WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman for June 12 in Madison Square Garden in New York. Arum plans to resume the negotiations once he returns from Mexico, where he plans to continue promoting the March 13 Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey pay-per-view.
Right now the only thing in the way of the fight is the money. Arum has yet to reach a financial agreement with Cotto on the fight. Arum doesn't anticipate any problems.
"I am going to pick up the talks with Miguel when I return from Mexico, where we have planned a tour to promote Manny Pacquiao's next fight. Miguel is interested. It is the fight that he wants. It's a question of discussing the numbers and arriving at an economic agreement", said Arum to Primera Hora. "I don't see any obstacles in the way of a fight between Cotto and Foreman."
