Manny Pacquiao 'considering' fighting IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook

Manny Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum has revealed that the Filipino could fight IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook in the future.

Brook has two fights lined up - a clash against fellow Brit Frankie Gavin at the O2 Arena in London on May 30 and a showdown with American Brandon Rios in the summer.

Arum, who also works for Rios, has claimed that a future bout between Pacquiao and Brook could happen, but a date is far from being agreed.

"Absolutely he could fight Pacquiao," the Daily Star quotes Arum as saying. "I've never met Kell, but I know Eddie very well and I've done business for years with Barry his father, so they're good friends of mine."

Pacquiao suffered a unanimous points defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas on Saturday.
