The ongoing soap opera stirred up by former two weight world champion Manny Pacquiao's habit of signing lots of contracts may have come to a conclusion this past Thursday when "Pacman" held a press conference in Manila. The super featherweight declared that Bob Arum's Top Rank was his promoter of record, ending the Filipino's brief fling with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.
Arum announced at the same press conference that Pacquiao will next see action on April 28 in Las Vegas with a rematch against WBC 130 lb Champion Marco Antonio Barrera as the preferred scenario. Such a pairing may have trouble seeing the light of day on that date as Barrera (ironically promoted by Golden Boy) is slated to defend his belt against Juan Manuel Marquez on March 17.
