BoxingScene.com was advised by sources close to the situation that a meeting between representatives for Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will take place this Tuesday before an arbitrator in California. Top Rank's Bob Arum, Golden Boy Promotions' CEO Richard Schaefer and their legal counsels are expected to attend.

I hear some of issues to be discussed will include the future of Golden Boy's financial stake in Pacquiao, the pending defamation suit that Pacquiao brought on Mayweather, Golden Boy and others, and a possible agreement between both sides on the issue of random drug tests for a potential Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. The target date for the fight is March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas but both sides are getting nervous on whether there is enough time to properly promote a fight of this size with only two months time.
