Top Rank Promotions’ big boss, Bob Arum is in town to fix the boxing match between the current Pound-for-pound king Manny ‘PacMan’ Pacquiao and Floyd ‘Pretty Boy’ Mayweather, Jr.

There’s only 2 issues that needed to be ironed out, first is the venue, according to Bob Arum, about 4 cities express their intention to host the what he tagged as ‘Fight of the Century’ and lastly, the weight category.
