LOS ANGELES – Nilinaw ni Top Rank boss Bob Arum na walang ‘deadline’ ang negosasyon para sa posibleng laban nina WBO welterweight titlist Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) at undefeated 2012 Australian Olympian Jeff Horn (16-0-1, 11 KOs).
“There is no deadline,” pahayag ni Arum sa panayam ng BoxingScene.com.
“The idea was that in order to secure the money from the Queensland government we had to tell them that the deal was done by the end of March and right now we’re finishing up all the contracts,” aniya.
“As far as I’m concerned everything is done. But there are some little strings but they don’t amount to much.
'Pikon daw?' UAAP fan na nag-dirty finger, agaw-eksena sa San Juan Arena!
First, we want to finalize the deal. Then we’re going to have press conferences in Australia for about a week then we’ll come back to the United States and we’ll figure that out.”
Hindi rin naman nagmamadali si Pacquiao, na nakatuon din ang atensiyon sa kanyang gawain bilang Senador.
Ngunit, sa nakalipas na buwan, malakas din ang alingasaw sa posibleng pagharap kay Amir Khan na dati niyang sparring mate.
Marami ang hindi kombinsido kay Horn bilang challenger ni Pacman. Sa boxing career ng Australian star, wala pa itong nakaharap sa level na tulad ng eight-division world champion.
