Bob Arum, the legendary Boxing Promoter hit his 80th Birthday yesterday. USA Today published an interview with Arum on his special day, and of course, with such a long and glowing career, Arum had plenty to say. But lets face it, we all want to know about Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr.
When asked if Pacquiao (Promoted by Arum) vs. Mayweather will ever be made? Arum stated that not only does Pacquiao want the fight next, but so does he. To Arum, it's not about wanting the fight, that part is the easy stuff... the hard part is making the fight. It is such a hard task, that Arum has not been looking forward too it. Arum is also hopeful an agreement can be made by both sides before the New Year.
Regarding the task of trying to make Pacquiao vs. "Money" May happen, and iron something out before the end of the year, Arum told the publication: "The difference in personalities between Manny and Floyd is just tremendous. Hopefully, we'll be able before the new year to bridge that gap and make that fight happen."
Regarding it being a task that Arum wasn't keen on looking forward too, Arum atated: "For me, frankly, it was not a task I was looking forward to. And I think there's an example where Todd (duBoef, Top Rank's president, & Arum's stepson), who's a lot nearer their ages, and a lot calmer than me, will play a major role."

I hope this is true. Because if it is. That's the most encouraging thing I've heard Arum say in a long while.
