Pacquiao-Canelo a possibility?

Pacquiao-Canelo a possibility?

Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday on Twitter that he spoke with Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar De La Hoya, who said he broached the possibility of a Manny Pacquiao-Canelo Alvarez fight with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter and Golden Boy rival.

This is a significant step in the long running Cold War between the two promotional entities. The issue that remains is that Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer has publicly said be would never work with Arum again. With rumors of dissent between De La Hoya and Schaefer mounting, one wonders if a major shift is set to occur that would shake the foundations of the sport.
