Manny Pacquiao’s next fight, slated to be held in Macau, has been moved to late November.

The fight is planned to be held at the Cotai Arena at The Venetian Macao, which has a seating capacity of 15,000.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said that the date has been moved from November 16 to November 23.

A Celine Dion concert scheduled for November 8 prompted the move, because organizers need enough time to organize both spectacles.

Arm said that he’s talked to Pacquiao and his camp but there isn’t a set opponent yet.

Among the potential opponents are Amir Khan, Ruslan Provodnikov, and Juan Manual Marquez.

“We have lots of names, list and list of names,” Arum said, reported the Philippine Inquirer.

He also said that Pacquiao expects to be paid a lot for the next fight. 

“Manny can’t make less—for any fight—than $20 million,” said Arum. “It goes up from there, somewhere between $20 million to $30 million.”
