Pacquiao eyes Marquez after smashing Shane Mosley: Boxing News
Saturday night, when the fighting pride, Manny Pacquiao was celebrating his lop-sided victory over Shane Mosley within the MGM Grand Garden, his fight promoter and the Chairman of Top Rank, Bob Arum, spoke to the media.
The Top Rank Chairman was interested to talk about Pacquiao’s next fight. The Chairman said that it is likely that Pacman will return to the ring hopefully on November 12. The Mexican national professional boxer, Juan Manuel Marquez, will be his next probable
opponent. Fight offer has already been made to Marquez’s team from Pacquiao’s management.
The World Boxing Organisation’s (WBO) welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao has already made the confirmation to the ring-side reporters that there are 80 percent chances of the trilogy-fight happening in Las Vegas, if Dinamita agrees to the terms and conditions
of an offer made to him.
Before the Saturday night contest between ‘the Destroyer’ and ‘Sugar Shane’ Arum met for the three times to finalise the terms with Juan Manuel Marquez. Two weeks ago, when the Pacquiao’s people made an offer to the Marquez’s people, they refused to accept
the money terms. They are still of the view that the prize-money is not enough to go against the ‘number one’ pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
“We've made a revised offer to Marquez,” the Top Promoter said. “We will send it to his lawyers (today) and we believe he will accept.”
Marquez’s promotional company, Golden Boy Promotions, who has all the rights of acceptance and refusal, could be a potential deal-breaker party between the fighters. If it is the case, it is almost impossible to Marques versus Pacquiao fight to happen.
Arum said that we are not doing to address with those who filch other people's fighters. Golden Boy Promotions has already tried to take the Bantamweight titlist, Nonito Donaire away from Top Rank in March. They made an invalid deal with Donaire because
of which his case has gone to the arbitration. Hopefully, the first hearing will be in June.
If Marquez does not agree with the terms then the next possible opponents are Zab Judah and Timothy Bradley. Arum sayid that the fight could be against Floyd Mayweather, he knows us, if he wants to go against Pacquiao, speak to Todd the President of Top
Rank to fulfill his dream.
