"I would love to fight Manny Pacquiao," Foreman told TSS. "I would give Pacman the opportunity to fight for his eighth title. I have mad respect for Pacquiao and think he's one of the best fighters ever. I haven't had a chance to talk to Bob Arum about it, but I will."
In fact, half an hour later, Arum talked about the potential for a Foreman-Pacquiao scrap. The promoter said he'd like Foreman to defend his crown a couple times, and then maybe entice Pacman to look for that eighth crown.

Bob will build Yuri's name to the public then put together Manny's historic fight to claim his 8th title in 8 divisions.
Bob's gotta get Yuri on HBO WCB against decent competition...
Carlos Quintana
Kermit Cintron
Maybe a unification fight with Dzinziruk or Angulo

In other words, Foreman wants a big payday. I can certainly understand that.
