Manny Pacquiao staging his next fight in the Philippines is close to impossible.
This was bared by Pacquiao?s business manager Rod Nazario in Tuesday?s Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum.
Nazario said it would take as much as P40 million to bring the next fight of the Filipino boxing sensation in the country.
Nazario, credited for Pacquiao?s recent surge in the international boxing scene, said his ward stands to receive at least P20 million in his next bout — whether it is to defend his International Boxing Federation (IBF) super-bantamweight crown or to go for the World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight title.
?Pacquiao?s purse alone will make it very difficult for a local promoter to raise. How about the purse of his opponent and the other expenses?
