LAS VEGAS -- Manny Pacquiao will return to the ring in
November, most likely in Macau, and has signed a new two-
year contract with promoter Bob Arum that could take him
to the end of his career. Arum said Tuesday that Juan
Manuel Marquez is his first choice for Pacquiaos next
fight, but other fighters -- including Amir Khan -- could
be in the mix. A lot, he said, depends on whether Oscar
De La Hoya emerges victorious in a power struggle within
Golden Boy Promotions with his estranged CEO, Richard
Schaefer. "If Oscar takes over the company like hes
talking about, were open to those guys also," Arum told
The Associated Press. "The other guy (Schaefer) says he
wont deal with me, so well see what Oscar says." Marquez
moved into the picture for a fifth fight against Pacquiao
with an impressive decision win Saturday over Mike
Alvarado. Marquez, who knocked out Pacquiao the last time
they met, is 1-2-1 against the Filipino fighter. Pacquiao
last fought April 12, beating Timothy Bradley in a
rematch of Bradleys controversial decision win in their
first fight. He began his comeback from the Marquez loss
last November, when he beat Brandon Rios in the first
major fight card in Macau, the Chinese gambling enclave.
"Were talking Macau tonight, thats our first choice,"
Arum said. "But there are other options. Well see what
Vegas has to offer and there could be an offer from the
Mideast. But it will probably be Macau." Arum, who has
promoted Pacquiao since 2005, said the new two-year
contract will begin after Pacquiaos next fight and will
likely bring him to the end of his career in 2016.
Pacquiao normally fights two times a year, meaning he
would have five more fights. "Manny is the kind of guy
who is extraordinarily loyal and hes had a great career
with us" Arum said. "We had to work out the different
terms and that sort of stuff, but we got it done."
Pacquiao is 35, an age where a lot of fighters begin
slowing down, and will be 38 when the latest contract
with Arums Top Rank Promotions expires. He has been
fighting professionally since age 16 and is now 56-5-2
and on the rebound with wins in his last two fights. The
one fight boxing fans have wanted for years, though,
hasnt happened, and the new contract may mean it will
never happen. Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he wont fight
Pacquiao as long as Arum is his promoter, the latest in a
series of conditions Mayweather has put on a possible
fight. But Arum said the two could fight in 2016 when
Mayweathers deal with the Showtime network has expired,
or next year if Showtime and rival network HBO agree to
host the bout together. "HBO is willing to do it," Arum
said. "And you never know, anything can happen in 2016."

Gary Harris gave No.HOUSTON -- With the top of Houstons
batting order struggling Friday night, the players at the
bottom came through to help the Astros keep their winning
streak intact. Jonathan Villar broke an 0-for-26 slump
with a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning and the
Astros won their seventh straight game with a 2-1 victory
over the Baltimore Orioles in the annual Major League
Baseball Civil Rights game. It is the first time Houston,
losers of 100-plus games the last three seasons, has won
seven straight since 2010. Brett Oberholtzer (2-6)
allowed four hits and a run in seven innings for the win
and Chad Qualls got the last four outs for his fifth
save. "Everybody did their part tonight," Houston manager
Bo Porter said. "Oberholtzer was outstanding. The bullpen
came in and was able to close it out and hold the game
right there. Overall, just a great team win." The Astros
had one hit before Matt Dominguez doubled to start the
seventh. Alex Presley singled with one out but was thrown
out trying to stretch it into a double. Robbie Grossman
followed with a double, which sailed just out of the
reach of a leaping Steve Pearce in left field, to tie it
1-all. Villars ground-rule double bounced into the
bullpen in right-centre field to put Houston on top and
chase Miguel Gonzalez (3-4). "Extremely happy for
(Villar) and Grossman," Porter said. "Both of them have
been kind of scuffling and for them to be the two
offensive heroes tonight, it definitely feels good."
Houstons Nos. 7, 8 and 9 hitters combined for three hits
Friday night while the top three had just one. "I feel
like were never out of a game," said Grossman, who was
recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday. "Were
just out there having fun." Adam Jones doubled to start
the second inning and scored on a one-out single by J.J.
Hardy to put Baltimore up 1-0. But the Orioles couldnt do
much else against Oberholtzer as they tied a season high
with their fourth straight loss. "Weve scored five runs
in the last three games,," manager Buck Showalter
said.dddddddddddd "You tip your cap to the other pitcher,
but were capable of better." Gonzalez kept Houston off-
balance early and didnt allow a hit until Jose Altuve
legged out an infield single on a grounder to shortstop
with one out in the sixth. Gonzalez yielded five hits and
two runs in 6 2-3 innings. The Astros wore the uniforms
of the Houston Eagles and the Orioles donned the uniforms
of the Baltimore Elite Giants of the Negro Leagues for
the game. Houston rookie George Springer, who had hit
seven homers in his previous seven games, went 0 for 4
with two strikeouts to snap an 11-game hitting streak.
Oberholtzer had retired five straight before Nelson Cruz
extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single to
start the fourth inning. But he still faced the minimum
in the inning thanks to a double play. He threw perfect
frames in both the fifth and sixth and sat down the first
two batters in the seventh before a single by Chris
Davis. Hardys fly out ended the inning and Oberholtzers
night. Gonzalez retired the first eight batters before
walking Villar with two outs in the third. But Altuve
grounded out to end that inning. He plunked Jason Castro
with two outs in the fourth before Pearce robbed
Dominguez of a hit with a diving catch to end the inning.
NOTES: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Berry Gordy and Pro
Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown were honoured at a
luncheon on Friday in conjunction with the game for their
contributions to the civil rights movement. Author and
poet Maya Angelou, who died on Wednesday at 86, was
honoured posthumously. ... Former heavyweight boxing
champion George Foreman threw out the ceremonial first
pitch. ... The series continues Saturday when Baltimore
RHP Chris Tillman opposes LHP Dallas Keuchel. Keuchel was
named the AL player of the week last week after going 2-0
with a 1.02 ERA in two starts. ... Baltimore C Matt
Wieters, on the 15-day DL since May 11 with a right elbow
strain, made 25 throws before Fridays game and Showalter
said he will throw again Sunday.
