Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao and three-time world champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, will meet in Las Vegas on November 14, promoter Bob Arum has announced.

Pacquiao, considered the pound-for-pound world champion after flattening England's Ricky Hatton in the second round in May, will meet Cotto after failed overtures from US veterans Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jnr.

Cotto agreed to contest the fight at a weight limit of 145 pounds, two pounds below the welterweight maximum.
