Tuesday, February 7, 2012

MIUYON na si pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao sa mga gikasabutan aron depensaan niya ang iyang WBO welterweight title batok kang junior welterweight king Timothy Bradley karong Hunyo 9 sa MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, USA.

Mao kini ang gipabuhagay sa adviser ni Pacquiao nga si Michael Koncz sa interbyu sa ESPN.com.

Hinuon gipasabot ni Koncz nga sa habig ni Bradley, kinahanglan pang i-finalize ang tanan sa pagpakigsabot niini sa Top Rank Promotions ni Bob Arum.

“From our end, the fight is done,” asoy ni Koncz. “I just got off the phone with (Top Rank’s) Bob Arum and Manny, so we’re done.”

Nagtuo si Koncz nga mosanong sab gyud si Bradley sa negusasyon niini sa Top Rank.

“I don’t assume there will be a problem from the Bradley side. We came to terms with Top Rank on the fight and Manny has approved everything. This morning I had a number of conversations with Bob negotiating the June 9 fight and I relayed everything to Manny,” dugang ni Koncz.

Si Top Rank president Todd duBoef miasoy sa ESPN.com tnga kasamtangan pa niyang nakigsabot sa kampo ni Bradley, kinsa adunay 28-0, 12KOs.

“We are going to be having further conversations with Bradley and his management early this week and hopefully finalize the deal,” asoy ni duBoef.

“But the truth is my (promotional) agreement with Bradley lays out certain parameters for a Pacquiao fight, so there is a framework already.”

Si Bradley mosaka og timbang aron lang ikaharong si Pacquiao, kinsa adunay 54-3-2, 38KOs nga baraha.

Gipasabot ni Koncz nga si Bradley mao na gyud ang ilang ikaduhang opsyon kon dili gyud moaway si Mayweather kang Pacquiao, nga maoy nahitabo.

Si Mayweather nipili kang Miguel Cotto aron maoy iyang kontrahon karong Mayo 5 sa Las Vegas sab.

“We’ve been talking about this for over a month and we always had a Plan B in case Mayweather didn’t happen,” pasabot ni Koncz.

“Last time I went to the Philippines, I took Manny tapes of all of the opponents we were talking about and he watched them with his wife, Jinkee. Bradley was one of them, as everybody knows.”

Si Koncz milarga paingon sa San Antonio sa miaging semana aron makighugpong kang Arum kabahin sa sunod tahas ni Pacquiao. Niadtong higayuna, si Arum maoy promoter sa Julio Cesar Chavez Jr-Marco Antonio Rubio.

Ang manager ni Bradley nga si Cameron Dunkin naa sab sa San Antonio niadtong higayuna ug gisabutan sa tulo ang kabahin sa Pacquiao-Bradley fight.

“Bradley is a young, undefeated fighter who deserves a chance,” asoy ni Koncz.

“Manny is excited. Until we name an opponent, boxing is out of Manny’s mind. He’s busy working in (the Filipino) congress. But he gets interested in boxing again when he has an opponent and a fight. Now we know we have a date (and) an opponent and he’s excited.”
