DAREDEVIL LOCAL promoter Bebot Elorde is bidding to stage Manny Pacquiao?s first fight next year.
?I have already laid out my plans to promote Pacquiao?s fight to his business manager Rod Nazario,? Elorde told the Bulletin yesterday. ?I am just waiting for his (Nazario) go-signal. I am determined to put it up here in the country.?
Elorde, son of the lategreat world junior-lightweight king Gabriel ?Flash? Elorde, said his backer is willing to give Pacquiao $350,000 (P19 million) as purse, an amount that the GenSan southpaw earned when he skyrocketed to stardom with a victory over Mexican icon Marco Antonio Barrera on November 15 in San Antonio, Texas.
