By Robert Morales - Trainer Freddie Roach told this reporter last week that Manny Pacquiao would be coming to Los Angeles this week to talk about his next opponent. As it turns out, Pacquiao won't be coming to L.A., said his promoter, Bob Arum.
Rather, Arum is going to the Philippines next week and will meet with Pacquiao on, or just after, Jan. 10 to discuss which of four fighters will next square off with him. They are Juan Manuel Marquez, Timothy Bradley, Miguel Cotto and Lamont Peterson.
"I will be meeting with Manny that week and everything will get sorted out," Arum said.
Arum said he is currently determining how all four fighters might fare as far as generating bucks for live gate and pay-per-view.
"We are researching all of that, all four guys," Arum said. "We have asked HBO for their opinion, and I will present it all to Manny and then we will have a decision."
Interestingly, not only would Arum not say which fighter he prefers during a telephone conversation with BoxingScene.com, he said he is going to withhold that information from Pacquiao as well. [Click Here To Read More]
