Las Vegas - Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says it will take some time to negotiate a best-seller fight between reigning world pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and former No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Arum told BoxingScene.com, insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that Pacquiao wanted one more fight after his “Fire Power” showdown against WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in their showdown at the MGM Grand here in Las Vegas on November 14 before the May 2010 elections where he plans to run for the lone congressional seat in Sarangani.
Arum said “I guess he wants to fight before and after” but that Mayweather will “want a lot of money but I don’t think we can do a Mayweather fight in that short a period of time.” However, Arum indicated it will all boil down to negotiations.
Arum stressed that while Mayweather “could look past the Juan Manuel Marquez fight Manny can’t look past Cotto.” He explained that the Puerto Rican star had lost only once to a guy (Antonio Margarito) who they think had his gloves loaded and he was beating him until towards the end.”
The Top Rank promoter wasn’t too concerned about Pacquiao’s training camp in Baguio City once Roach arrived in the Philippines along with conditioning guru Alex Ariza.
He said “the biggest advantage that Manny has in the fight is Freddie Roach. Miguel has no equivalent although his trainer is a nice guy – Joe Santiago. But he has a great conditioner, a real pro. But Manny has Freddie to work with him on strategy . People don’t give him the credit he should get but he’s a tremendous strategist. He can analyze an opponent and figure things out.”
Prior to leaving for Manila, Roach told us that the catch-weight of 145 was no problem . He said “one pound here two pounds there are not going to win or lose the fight. I’m happy with it (145) and Manny has no problem with it. The thing is by fight time he’ll weigh 160, we’ll be about 149 which is Manny’s best fighting weight and if they think he (Cotto) is the stronger guy he has something coming . They said Oscar (de la Hoya) was stronger, they said Ricky Hatton was stronger and now they Cotto is stronger. I got the better puncher. If he wants to fight, we’ll fight.”
Arum also disclosed that he was very impressed with light welterweight Mark Jason Melligen who had even impressed Floyd Mayweather Jr as well as Z “The Dream” Gorres and would put them on a Top Rank card scheduled for November 13 at Mandalay Bay. Melligen will fight tough Mexican Mike Rosales while matchmaker Bruce Trampler was working on an opponent for Gorres.
Dana White talks during the post fight 103 press conference about Vitor Belfort possibly fighting Anderson Silva for the 185lb title:
“The question that I had coming into this fight was, ‘What Vitor were we gonna see? The explosive Vitor that wants to get somebody hurt, who goes right after them, or the Vitor that lays back and couldn’t pull the trigger? He pulled the trigger tonight, and as soon as he hurt [Franklin], he went right in for the kill. Vitor is a 185-pound fighter, that’s his weight division. To be honest with you, the way that the last two fights happened with Marquardt and Henderson against Anderson Silva, I think it would be better to see them fight each other, and the winner of that become the next contender. I think Vitor’s ready. I think Vitor’s ready to fight Anderson Silva.”
Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, has told BoxingScene.com that there is a tentative deal in place for a welterweight unification bout to take place on Jan. 30 between WBA titlist Shane Mosley and WBC belt-holder Andre Berto.
That is unless Floyd Mayweather, Jr. decides that he may want to face either of the two fighters in the meantime.
Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's advisor and CEO of Mayweather promotions, told BoxingScene.com that he believes a bout between his man and Shane Mosley is one that will take place.
“I think they will eventually fight,” said Ellerbe. “If you're asking me when, I don't know.”
At last night's post fight press conference after his unanimous decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez, Mayweather said, “All roads lead to me.”
It is doubtful that Mayweather and his promotional team are going to wait around to decide on their next opponent until the winner of Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto is decided on Nov. 14.
Of his future, Mayweather told the assembled media last night, “I will sit down in the next couple of weeks with Al [Haymon] and Leonard and my team, my father and we'll talk about what's next.”
