If junior welterweight Tim Bradley lands with his promotional company, Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum said that he would look to match the WBO and WBC king against WBO welterweight titlist Manny Pacquiao in the fall, or, early next year. Gary Shaw has one more fight remaining on his official promotional contract with Bradley, who is reportedly unhappy with their current arrangement and considering options for free agent status.
"That would be our goal, to build him. To build his name recognition so that we could make a fight happen between Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao," said Arum. "We can be like the other promoters and sit on our a**es and just do it because it's working and good money is coming in, but that's not doing our job. Our job is to maximize the money and to increase the revenue."
