Shane Mosley will be the next contender.

Bob Arum, the founder and CEO of Top Rank Promotions, said that Shane Mosley’s group will have to sign final papers before the fight will be set. But the scheduled bout between Pacquiao-Mosley will be on May 7, 2011 for World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title fight at 17,000-seat capacity MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Shane Mosley (born September 7, 1971) is a professional boxer from Pomona, California. He has won world titles in three weight divisions, and is the former WBA Welterweight Super Champion. And he is considered the most famous among the candidates for the fight that includes Juan Manuel Marquez and Andre Berto, a World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champion.

He (Bob Arum) said that his first choice is Floyd Mayweather, Jr. but he shows no sign of interest. He added that he could have waited for him since now he is currently facing a charge for assaulting a security guard and was arrested in the hotel casino in Las Vegas which will begin its trial proceeding early next year.
