BOB ARUM: "WE'LL LOOK FOR GUYS LIKE KENDALL HOLT, TIMOTHY BRADLEY OR LAMONT PETERSON"
By Josh Jordon | December 10, 2008

BOB ARUM:

"It depends on whether we're going to do a real big mega-fight or just a real good fight. If we do a real good fight, we'll look for guys like Kendall Holt, Timothy Bradley or Lamont Peterson; guys like that. If we're going to do a mega-fight, there are two names that come to mind. One is Ricky Hatton; the other is Floyd Mayweather Jr. so we're going to see," stated Top Rank promoter Bob Arum as he talked about the future plans of Manny Pacquiao after his dominant win over Oscar De La Hoya. Check out what else he had to say about Pacquiao, the upcoming Margarito-Mosley clash and much more.

Out of those three, who do you think has the best chance to pull an upset against Manny? Please vote on the poll.

arum is throwing these names out there so floyd and hatton don't demand such big purses... there's little chance of these fights happening imho

Exactly. The last thing he would want to do is to give a rival fighter and promotional team a feeling that they are needed.

Bob is a shrewd guy. He knows Manny is the biggest thing out there right now and he will milk it for all it is worth.
