Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said that he got his marching orders from Filipino boxing superstar Manny ‘The Pacman’ Pacquiao to arrange a fight between him and Miguel Cotto.

“Manny told me what to do. Manny told me ‘Go ahead, make that fight.’ So it will go November 14, 2009 at the MGM Grand here in Vegas,” said Bob Arum. Pacquiao sat ringside with Arum as Miguel Cotto retained his WBO welterweight crown by holding off Joshua Clottey on a split decision Saturday at the Madison Square Garden.

The Puerto Rican champion Miguel Cotto is said to be excited with the prospect of fighting Pacquiao later this year.
