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.
