That's what I was thinking, apparently Burns' manager confirmed it yesterday.

Arum probably hoping Beltran can pull it off so he has a backup plan if Mikey/Loma falls through.

I did read that Arum and Robert Garcia (he trains Ramirez, who Top Rank promote) had talked briefly about putting Mikey/Loma after the Pedraza fight.

Arum talking all the belt unification and PPV, saying its big enough to make sense.
