Bob Arum was quoted in BoxingScene.com saying:

“It’s too late for the fall. So Pacquiao-Mayweather would be something in the spring,” Arum told Lem Satterfield. “Floyd has not signed officially with [promoter Don] King, but when he does, I'm sure that Don will talk to me and we’ll work it out.”

“My recommendation is that we do the fight in May, in which case, if Pacquiao is successful in November, that will give us six months to promote the fight,” added Arum, who currently ironing out the details of Pacquiao’s bout against Mexican Antonio Margarito on November 13.

Bob Arum also mentioned that he will meet with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Wednesday(US Time). He is considering the Cowboys Stadium as the venue of the Pacquiao-Margarito fights on November 2010.

“Jerry Jones, I consider a friend. I think that we’re going to make a deal. Jerry Jones knows that North Texas has a huge Hispanic population, and, particularly, a large Mexican American population,” stated Arum.

Margarito and Pacquiao will dispute the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight title.
