Arum sets date for Pacquiao’s next fight

Top Rank chief Bob Arum has a date and a few fighters in mind for Manny Pacquiao’s next fight and the Hall of Fame promoter will formally inform him of the pertinent details when he joins in the celebration of the Filipino star’s 30th birthday in the coming week.

"The target date is May, the 2nd or the 9th of May," Arum told boxingtalk yesterday.

While Arum admits that only two guys – British Ricky Hatton and American Floyd Mayweather – have what it takes to command superfight status with Pacquiao, there are a few others out there who can light up the ring.

"I’m going to the Philippines on Monday to attend Manny’s birthday party, and we’ll have some preliminary discussions. The question is does Manny want a mega-fight in his next fight, or does he want a really good big fight," Arum said.
