The proposed November 14 fight between pound for pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is being negotiated by both camps. Pacquiao’s adviser, Manny Konez met with promoter Bob Arum and said that he was pleasantly surprised with the offer. Although Arum nor Konez would not say if the split would be 75-30 or 65-35 in Pacquiao’s favor.
Konez also said, “But it’s a negotiation, so we probably won’t accept the first offer, but we’re not far off. The talks I had with Bob were good. So I will bring Manny the offer. We’ll probably counter, but I think it will get worked out. We’re really not that far off. I can’t say for sure, though, because Manny makes that decision, but I think it looks good. This is the fight Manny says he wants.”
