LEGENDARY promoter Bob Arum has told the media that a possible Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto clash can get serious discussion in June.
The fight, however, should be held at a catchweight between 140 and 147 lbs.
Arum, who promotes both Pacquiao and Cotto, has indicated that negotiations for the fight can only start after June 13, and will depend if Cotto wins his WBO welterweight title against Joshua Clottey at New York's Madison Square Garden. Arum says Pacquiao will be at ringside for the fight.
?Manny is going to be in New York for Miguel's fight and we expect to be able to advance the conversations that weekend. I've already spoken with Manny about the possibility of a fight with Cotto and he told me that we'll sit down to talk in June when he travels to New York. If Cotto beats Clottey, that same weekend we will have some news,? Arum told Primera Hora.
Arum says the winner of the Pacquiao-Cotto fight can then face Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2010 provided that he defeats Juan Manuel Marquez in July.
?We are not going to wait for Mayweather. It is more feasible for Cotto to face Pacquiao in November or December and the winner to fight Mayweather next year. At the present, Cotto is one of the most important boxers on the market and a fight with Pacquiao is very attractive,? Arum stated. /Correspondent Salven Lagumbay
