As Lucas Matthysse and Viktor Postol fight for the vacant WBC 140-pound belt this Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, promoter Bob Arum will be in attendance. His company, Top Rank, represents Postol and he has mentioned Matthysse as one of the possibilities to face Manny Pacquiao in 2016.

In regards to that potential clash, Arum spoke to BoxingScene.com about the Argentine slugger - "He's an exciting guy and he's gotten a lot of exposure and he would assure everybody that it would be a very exciting match."

If Matthysse should come out victorious and capture his first major world title, a bout with Pacquiao wouldn't be at junior welterweight.

"We would do it at like 144-pound catch-weight. Manny's not a true welterweight," said Arum.

Recent reports have suggested that perhaps Amir Khan is the frontrunner to win the Pacquiao sweepstakes, but Arum stated,"There's certainly been discussions with him but I wouldn't say he's the frontrunner."
