Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Megafight Could Happen in November, Says Bob Arum

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, said that a megafight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao could happen in November 2012.

Arum answered questions about how a possible fight has been affected by Mayweather’s 90 day sentence that would have him behind bars until March or April.

"Pacquiao will fight in May or June. If Floyd is available and Manny is successful, then we will fight Floyd in November," said Arum.

The Top Rank CEO is on his way to the Philippines to meet with his elite boxer to talk about his next opponent. Arum provided four possible options for Pacquiao’s next fight: Juan Manuel Marquez, Timothy Bradley, Miguel Cotto or Lamont Peterson.

Arum did not want to continue talking about the subject or whether the Filipino boxer would be willing to wait for Mayweather for his next fight, saying in the interview with Boxing Scene that "we are not going to operate on 'what-ifs.' That is not very logical business wise."
