Legendary promoters Bob Arum and Don King are already in negotiations for a possible unification bout between Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao and WBA, IBF and WBO world lightweight champion Nate Campbell this fall, according to a report by Bob Hanna of SoutCoastToday.com.
Pacquiao is slated to face WBC lightweight champion David Diaz at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on June 28, and if Pacquiao gets past Diaz, an opportunity to face triple-crown holder Nate Campbell for the undisputed lightweight championship of the world opens up.
Pacquiao is promoted by Arum while Campbell is promoted by King.
