World champion Manny Pacquiao has invited Miguel Cotto and his wife to General Santos, Philippines to attend Manny's birthday festivities on December 17.

When Bob Arum was recently in Manila, Pacquiao said he had great respect for Cotto and would be honored if he and his wife could attend.

Arum added that Top Rank will be in contact with Team Cotto after the New Year to discuss fight plans for 2010 including a possible bout at Yankee Stadium.
