Pacquiao Re-Signs With Arum Thru End of 2016

Attention fight fans…Manny Pacquiao has squelched any drama, about whether he would split with longtime promoter Bob Arum.

Pacman and Arum extended their deal, through the end of 2016.

The ramifications of that? Well, I’m guessing that as long as Pacman is with Arum, Floyd Mayweather will do as he said he would, and continue to avoid a Mayweather-Pacquiao promotion.

Here is the release which went out Tuesday early afternoon.
