It’s gonna be a great fight- Arum
LAS VEGAS — Record hit it is! Just moments after the booths started selling tickets, they all went vanished! And huge numbers are expected from pay-per-view revenues.
“We are watching a phenomenon unfold before our eyes,” Top Rank chief Bob Arum said of Pacquiao. Arum talks about Pacquiao’s devastating combination of speed and power.
“Manny seems to be punching harder now,” Arum said. “People have been asking if he’ll lose his speed as he goes heavier, but Manny seems to be faster now.”
Arum also considered trainer Freddie Roach’s part on the ring, for he is the one who has shaped Pacquiao, who was once a one-time flyweight king who is now aiming to become the first boxer to win world titles in seven different weight categories.
Arum also refused to make predictions since he promotes both fighter but told audiences to watch out for the moment the bell rings and both fighter unleash their powers.
Pacquiao faces Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14, where he will be gunning for the Puerto Rican’s WBO welterweight crown, which actually what makes the highlight match of the card billed as “Firepower” one of the greatest the sport has ever seen, at a catch weight of 145 pounds.
