The talks are over and the wait is on for opponent who will face Manny Pacquiao in his next fight on November 13. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum has spoken to the management of Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, the fight proposals have gone to Pacquiao and a decision is expected by this coming Monday.
“Probably by Monday we should have a decision,” Arum said to Lester Jimenez. “I spoke with both parties. The two proposals are going to Pacquiao. Now it all depends on what [Pacquiao] decides. [Mayweather] says he is on vacation, we can not wait for him.”
The talk going on right now is for Pacquiao’s next fight to take place outside of the United States, in either Abu Dhabi or Mexico. Pacquiao’s next fight will take place in the junior middleweight division, for Cotto’s WBA title or against Margarito for the vacant WBC title. A catch-weight is expected for either fight, probably around 150 to 151-pounds.
