Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
Bob Arum, who is a Top Rank boss, is currently in the Philippines. He will be talking to seven-time world boxing champ Manny Pacquiao into sealing the deal for the much-awaited fight with former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr.
”I’m obviously over here to talk to Manny,” Arum told LAtimes.com. “At this point, I’ve got to find out what my fighter wants to do.” similar to what happened during the negotiations for the Pacquiao fight against British champ Ricky Hatton last May, Arum wanted to avoid “complications”.
Arum flew to the Philippines to personally meet with Pacquiao and his advisors.
