As the battle between Oscar De La Hoya and Bob Arum for the promotional rights to Manny Pacquiao's next fight heat up, a Lawyer Rudy Salud, founding secretary general of the World Boxing Council, said he fears that Pacquiao, could be in big trouble if he decides to go ahead and fight for Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and turns his back on a contract he signed beforehand with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.

Quoted in, Salud said in regards to fighting under Arum insdtead of De La Hoya: “It would be an outright breach of
contract.” Salud added that if the reported 4 year deal with Arum was signed after the Nov. 18 fight with Erik Morales, then Arum was guilty of “outright tampering and tortuous interference.”

Arum plans a fight for Pacquiao at the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Macau in March next year. It is felt that there is no injunction that could be enforced there to stop Pacquiao from fighting. Salud disagreed. “The law can reach out that far if Golden Boy can prove his contract. He can enforce it anywhere in the world through a complicated legal procedure.”Adding the fight would be delayed, Salud said: “will be delayed and he loses time, which is gold, if he is not able to fight.”

Salud warned that if Pacquiao does fight under Arum, that Pacquiao would: “get soaked in the US for everything he has.”
