Boxing News: Pacquiao And Mayweather Might Meet 'In The First Six Months Of Next Year' - Bob Arum

Bob Arum revealed (for the nth time) that Manny Pacquiao could finally meet Floyd Mayweather eye-to-eye inside the ring in 2015.

The Top Rank CEO bared that representatives from both camps are seriously undergoing negotiations to make the much-anticipated superbout come to reality.

"I don't give a sh-- about convincing anyone of anything, but there are talks, and I believe for the first time people are serious," he was quoted by ESPN.

"I am under an agreement not to say anything about anything, but it's not a lot of bullsh--."

"The chances are greater now that it will happen than it's been in years, and I think the only impediment, a major impediment, is if Algieri upsets Pacquiao on Saturday. Serious people are involved."

"They are involved. The next fight [for both boxers] would be a good possibility, and it would occur in the first six months of next year."

He further insisted that Mayweather himself is already willing to seal the deal, so to speak, according to his "reliable source."

"If I am told the other side is interested and involved and it comes from a source I can rely on, I can rely in it," he continued.

"I'm emboldened this time the fight will happen because I have been informed Floyd will also take the fight. But I don't want to say anything that f---- it up."
