Manny Pacquiao appears headed back to the MGM Grand Garden, the site of his two most recent victories.
The man considered boxing's pound-for-pound champion is looking at a Nov. 14 return against Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas. Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao and Cotto, said if the fight is signed, it likely will be at the MGM.
Arum said he also talked to Thomas & Mack Center director Daren Libonati about his facility hosting the fight.
"I wanted to give everybody a shot," Arum said Friday. "When I checked with the other casinos to see if they wanted it at the Thomas & Mack, they said it would be difficult for them. So we're going to the MGM."
Arum said negotiations are under way with the Cotto and Pacquiao camps, and he's going to take his time to make sure both fighters get what they want.
"What's the rush?" he said. "There's going to be some haggling, like there always is. But, eventually, we'll get it worked out, and by early July, everything should be set for what will be a great fight."
