Will Manny Pacquiao be the fighting senator?
Top Rank CEO Bob Arum may have just answered that question as he claims he already penciled the eight-division world champion for a fight to take place in November 5 at Las Vegas.
Philippine Star reporter Abac Cordero reached to Arum, who confirmed that the fight is a go, booked at Thomas and Mack Center at the University of Nevada.
Just got off the phone with Bob Arum. Asked if @MannyPacquiaoTR has agreed to a Nov 5 return to boxing, Arum says, "Yes." @PhilippineStar— @abaccordero (@abaccordero) July 20, 2016
An opponent has yet to be named, though light welterweights Terence Crawford and Viktor Postol are at the top of the shortlist.
Pacquiao made an earlier statement that he will prioritize his duties in the Senate over boxing.
