Bob Arum, the promoter of Manny Pacquiao has announced to the viewers world-wide that Manny is scheduled to fight against Ricky Hatton of England on May 2. Arum said that hopefully after the match between the two, Mayweather will come out from his retirement to give everyone a great fight in the history of boxing.
Pacquaio recently pronounced his desire to retire from being a boxer this year but making sure to leave great fights for his big fans around the world.
“If Floyd Mayweather is not available after we fight Hatton, then we can fight Edwin Valero,” said Arum, close to finalizing the deal with the Hatton people for the May 2 bout.
Reports say that if Mayweather would not be available, Pacquaion might fight against Joan Guzman or Zab Judah and, of course, Juan Manuel Marquez, the only fighter who really came close to beating Pacquiao in nearly three years.
What everybody loves to see fighting inside the ring are the two pound-for-pound champions of the same era. Very exciting and interesting, ain’t it? “If Mayweather is not there, we can fight two more fights to make up for it. Manny can fight three times this year,” said Arum over the telephone.
