MACAU – Wala pang petsa, premyo o kung anong weight division maglalaban sina Manny Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather.
Ang importante, ayon sa chief adviser ni Pacquiao na si Mike Koncz, ay may nangyayari nang pag-uusap.
“If this fight happens, it’s because Floyd wants it to happen. It’s not going to matter what we want, it’s not going to matter what HBO wants, what (Bob) Arum wants and what (Richard) Schaefer wants,” sabi ni Koncz.
Matapos dominahin ni Pacquiao si Chris Algieri ay hinamon ng reigning WBO welterweight champion si Mayweather.
Naging matapang si Pacquiao sa kanyang panawagan kay Mayweather.
“The main reason is that Manny is getting tired of everybody asking him. Of course, fighting Mayweather will give him substantial money. But that’s not the driving force behind it,” sabi ni Koncz.
“He’s an entertainer. He wants to entertain people. That’s why he wants to get that fight,” dagdag pa ng chief adviser na ilang beses na ring nakausap si Mayweather.
Ngunit walang nangyari.
“I was pleasantly surprised with his demeanor and professionalism. He’s a great guy by himself. But this time I haven’t heard anything from him. Until I hear something from Floyd, I don’t hold high hopes,” dagdag pa nito.
Hindi naman naitago ni promoter Arum ang kanyang pananabik na maitakda ang Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.
“But we’re in no rush. I don’t want to put timetable on it,” wika pa ni Koncz.
