Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum confirmed to ESPN's Dan Rafael that the groups of Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez have agreed to terms for a bout in September or October, while Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao is slated to fight Mike Alvarado or Brandon Rios "in the fall in Asia."

Arum told me that if indeed Mayweather fights Sept. 14, he'll move date of Bradley-Marquez to October so no conflict this year. #boxing

Marquez-Bradley had been rumored last week, when the Mexican Marquez told ESPN Deportes Radio that he was leaning towards the American Bradley.

However, at that time, Bradley's manager Cameron Dunkin denied that a fight between the two had been set, telling The Desert Sun, "We don't know anything about it, I don't know any hint about it."

That bout, between the two boxers who inflicted losses on Pacquiao last year, is tentatively set for Las Vegas, in either September or October, as Floyd Mayweather Jr. is slated to fight on September 14, also in Vegas.
