The first priority for Top Rank CEO Bob Arum is a fight between welterweights Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Arum will start working on that fight in the next couple of weeks. There are two issues that Arum needs to resolve. The first, is whether or not Mayweather is interested in the fight. The second issue is the ongoing legal situation in Las Vegas between Mayweather and the mother of his two children, Josie Harris. Arum wants to make sure the pending assault case will not interfere with a planned fight.
How can this be the first priority? The first priority should be to convince Pacquiao that he must realize he will make the most money in his life when only he grew some balls to face Floyd. If Bob convinces Pacquiao of that, we certainly will have a fight.
