The pound-for-pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto face each other on November 14, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas even though contracts have yet to be signed.

Hall of fame promoter Bob Arum is in Europe for a vacation and he wouldn't be back until next week.
Pacquiao said that he insist his weight at 143 lbs recently, but when he lose weight he will be dehydrated although Cotto has declared in public that he can't go lower than 145 lbs because 147 lbs was the welterweight limit. Samuels said "we'll be able to tweak things out. This is the money fight for Pacquia and Cotto and the things that we are having right now like stalled negotiations is just normal."
Jeng Gacal (Pacquiao's lawyer) and myself will go over this Sunday, said knockz, who's on the Philippine Airlines flight in Manila from L.A last Friday. Arum has informed Team Pacquiao about the promotional tour. The earning potential of the bout on pay-per-view to be maximized.
