World boxing champion Manny Pacquiao would love to have his next fight staged in Manila.
The big problem: Is there a local promoter brave enough to foot the P35-40-million bill needed to put up the big-budget card?
?I estimate that it would take around P35-40 million to have Manny fight here. Half of that will go to my boy?s purse. I wouldn?t want the promoter to lose his shirt,? said Pacquiao?s business manager Rod Nazario, himself a promoter, on Tuesday.
Appearing in the Philippine Sportswriters Association forum together with his ward, Nazario added that he could not go any lower than the P19 million ($350,000) Pacquiao got for his last fight.
