By Robert Morales - Promoter Bob Arum on Tuesday said that he and his wife, Lovee, are leaving Saturday to the Philippines. Once there, Arum will talk to Manny Pacquiao about his next fight. The possibilities are a fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, or a rematch with either Timothy Bradley or Miguel Cotto.
Arum said he expects to have a decision by a week from Friday, Aug. 10.
The topic of discussion was switched to 50 Cent, who has announced he is becoming a promoter and will team with Floyd Mayweather Jr., who is due out of jail Friday. Since a bout between Mayweather and Pacquiao has not materialized through a couple of rounds of negotiations, Arum was asked what would happen if his Top Rank Inc. found itself in talks with 50 Cent for that fight.
Keep in mind that Golden Boy Promotions has promoted Mayweather's past six fights.
"Absolutely," said Arum, when asked if he thought that fight would get done under those circumstances. "I would think that it would come without a lot of baggage that Golden Boy brings for negotiations, issues that don't really affect fighters, but relate to business aspects of promoting.
"So I think with 50 Cent representing Mayweather and him having confidence in his own promoter, and of course we're representing Pacquiao as his promoter, I think that traditional negotiations would take place and we'd get this thing done." [Click Here To Read More]
