WBC SAYS MAYOL MUST FIGHT OMAR NINO ON PACQUIAO UNDERCARD

The World Boxing Council has informed us that should newly crowned WBC light flyweight champion Rodel Mayol want to fight on the planned Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr undercard or on the next card headlined by Pacquiao, the Filipino “must fight Omar Nino” the No.1 mandatory opponent.
WBC secretary general Mauricio Sulaiman disclosed that Mayol had signed two options with Dr. Fausto Garcia, the promoter of former champion Sosa and must face Nino next since “the WBC made Omar Nino wait to give Mayol a chance at the request of Manny Pacquiao.”
Dr. Garcia had a January 30 date and both the venue and a TV station for Mayol’s first title defense against Nino but Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz who together with Pacquiao handles Mayol said it was “too soon” after his November 29 bout with Sosa and the Christmas celebrations in the Philippines.
Sulaiman told us they must inform the promoter and the WBC when Mayol would be ready to fight Omar Nino in Mexico which is the site chosen by the promoter.
Sulaiman made it clear that if Mayol wants to fight on the Pacquiao undercard they must either fight Nino or “reach an agreement with Nino to step aside. But most importantly they must reach an agreement with Sosa’s promoter as he is the owner of the next two fights of Mayol.” Mayol won the title with a stunning second round TKO over the highly fancied Sosa who was making his ninth title defense.
