Bob Arum clarified on Saturday that the contract between Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao’s and his Top Rank Promotion has not expired yet. But Arum said that Top Rank Promotion would remain involved in promoting Pacquiao’s fights whether it is against Matthysse or not. “Yes, he (Pacquiao) is,” Arum told The Times when asked if Pacquiao is still under contract with Top Rank Promotion. They (Pacquiao camp) are waiting for the money,” added Arum, noting that it might end up like the Pacquiao vs Amir Khan fight that was supposed to happen in Dubai but didn’t materialize. Manny has agreed to fight if the money that was promised comes up.”Arum said that Top Rank Promotion would still be part of the Pacquiao-Matthysse bout if it pushed through.
