It's already been announced that Manny is moving up after this fight. I can't remember where I read it but they are going to have David Diaz fight on the undercard, and win lose or draw,Manny is fighting him at 135 next. The likelihood of seeing Pac v Guzman is slim to none.Guzman is way too high risk,low reward.
Pac and Guzman will NEVER happen! Pac will fight three times this year. If he happens to win his next two (JMM and David Diaz) he will fight Juan Diaz in another big fight of 2008. Guzman isn't even on the waiting list. At this point, if Pac goes through JMM, David, and Juan, it's time for retirement. Pac will have nothing left to prove and will probably not even think about moving up to Jr. Welter. The only thing that would remotely start talks of a Guzman vs Pacquiao match is if Pac loses two of his bouts in 2008.
Arum refuses to promote a fight with Guzman in it. Arum is about pairing boxers together that produce exciting fights. Why do you think his stable of fighters include Pacquiao, Cotto, Pavlik, Arce, Chavez Jr., Margarito, Morales, and Soto. Arum isn't about the defensive wizard or the tactical genius. He has all the pressure fighters that go into every fight looking for the knockout. I don't know if Arum is really thinking high risk, low reward as much as $$$$
