\nManny Pacquiao<\/strong> will have the opportunity to win a world title in a fourth division in November when he fights his Top Rank promotions stablemate Miguel Cotto Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas,<\/strong> the fighters’ promoter announced Monday.<\/p>\n

Although contracts have yet to be signed — and that detail resulted in a lengthy delay before Pacquiao’s <\/strong>most recent fight with England’s Ricky Hatton was finalized — promoter Bob Arum announced that he’s secured verbal agreements from his fighters to stage a WBO welterweight title bout at a catch weight of 145 pounds.<\/p>\n

HBO pay-per-view will televise the bout.

Puerto Rico’s Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) owns the WBO belt and defended it in June with a victory over Joshua Clottey.<\/strong>
