Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao has agreed to meet WBA Welterweight Champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley in a mega-fight at a catch weight.
In an interview today with Filipino news organization GMA News, Manny Pacquiao agreed to Mosley's dare to meet in the ring. "No problem, we can fight. As long we negotiate," Pacquiao said from his hometown, General Santos City.
Mosley countered, "Now that Manny has stated that he is ready to fight me, the only thing left to finish are negotiations. Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum are working out the details now. I will be ready to fight Pacquiao on October 17th."
Mosley has agreed to a 40-60 split and is willing to fight at a catch weight to meet Pacquiao in the ring.
Mosley last faced Antonio Margarito in January 2009 and delivered a ninth-round knockout. Pacquiao is coming off a second-round knock-out victory over Ricky Hatton in May.
