It looks like Manny Pacquiao's camp is close to finding an opponent for the Filipino boxer for his last match on April 9, 2016.
According to Opening Round, Pacquiao is leaning towards facing Timothy Bradley, who he battled twice already. The first match was a Pacquiao defeat but he was able to redeem himself in their rematch. This would be their third and deciding match .
For Bob Arum, as long as the one going to fight Pacquiao is in the same roof at Top Rank, he is totally fine with it. But, in case the Bradley fight doesn't work out, he is also open to Pacquiao fighting Saul "Canelo" Alvarez if Oscar De La Hoya will allow it.
"If Bradley wins and is not fighting Pacquiao, I'd like to make him with Canelo. That's a good fight," Arum told ESPN.com via IBTimes. "If Canelo beats Cotto, I've talked to (Alvarez promoter) Oscar (De La Hoya) about the winner of Bradley-Rios fighting Canelo, and he loves it."
The CEO also suggested that Amir Khan be last on Pacquiao's priority list.
"Would I prefer it not to be Khan? Yes, but this is Manny's last fight," Arum told ESPN. "Do I hope he doesn't pick Khan though? Of course [because I don't promote him], but I don't think he will pick Khan."
In fact, Amir Khan is closing in on a Kell Brook match since a fight with Pacquiao or a rematch with Mayweather is very unlikely now.
Amir Khan is prepared to fight Kell Brook at Wembley at end of May after Manny Pacquiao snubs him for a second rematch with Timothy Bradley.
