Hampered by extremely difficult terrain and deteriorating weather, rescuers carefully planned Saturday how to recover the body of John Arum - the son of top boxing promoter Bob Arum - who died while mountain climbing in Washington's North Cascades National Park.

A search helicopter spotted the body of the son of boxing promoter Bob Arum on a Washington state mountainside Friday afternoon, five days after searchers began looking for him in North Cascades National Park, authorities said.

Park rangers in the Cascade Mountains are searching for the son of boxing promoter Bob Arum, who went missing while on a camping trip over the weekend.

Promoter Bob Arum talks in front of Cowboys Stadium before the weigh-in for the WBO welterweight title fight between Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines and Joshua Clottey of Ghana.

WBO welterweight champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is in the "Big Apple," New York City, to attend a tribute dinner in honor of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.

The fight that most boxing fans anticipated is official. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum announced on Monday that IBO and Ring Magazine junior welterweight champion, and current top pound for pound fighter, Filipino Manny Pacquiao will face off against WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.

Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto are set to fight in November. Promoter Bob Arum said Monday the two would meet Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand and be shown on HBO pay-per-view.

Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) has won titles in six weight divisions from 112 to 140 pounds. He pummeled the retiring Oscar De La Hoya in December and stopped Ricky Hatton in May, cementing his claim as the best pound-for-pound fighter...

Manny Pacquiao's camp, outside of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, has been pressing for a catchweight below 145 lb. in a fight against Puerto Rican welterweight champion Miguel Cotto.

(Cotto weighed in at 146 lb. against his last fight against Ghana native Joshua Clottey.) Arum appears confident that the fight will push through in November.

Cotto's promotional contract with Top Rank ends toward the end of the year, and Bob Arum - in order to keep his fighter - has to satisfy his Puerto Rican client with a highly attractive match.
