MANILA, Philippines – Ayaw man ni Bob Arum ng Top Rank Promotions si British star Amir Khan na maging huling laban ni Manny Pacquiao ay wala siyang magagawa.
Ayon kay Arum, tanging si Pacquiao ang nagdedesisyon kung sino ang gusto niyang labanan.
“I purposely kept myself out of it because at this point it doesn’t matter who Manny picks,” wika ni Arum sa panayam ng ESPN.com. “Would I prefer it not to be Khan? Yes, but this is Manny’s last fight. I have a duty to him to present him all of the options. Do I hope he doesn’t pick Khan though? Of course (because I don’t promote him), but I don’t think he will pick Khan.”
Anumang araw ay inaasahan nang magdedesisyon ang Filipino world eight-division champion para sa kanyang magiging pinakahuling laban bago tuluyang magretiro sa susunod na taon.
Bukod kay Khan, ang iba pang ikinukunsidera ay sina Terence Crawford at Timothy Bradley, Jr.
“Khan was an option when we considered having this fight in April in the Middle East, so he was a guy on the table. Now the Middle East is not on the table, but he’s still one of the guys on the table,” sabi ng promoter.
Naghihintay din ng desisyon ni Pacquiao si Crawford.
