Pacquiao inks rich fight deal

FILIPINO ring hero Manny Pacquiao on Tuesday left the negotiating table brandishing a multi-million dollar deal for two fights.

“Bring them all,” was all Pacquiao needed to say to win the hearts — and subsequently the juicy contract — of HBO executives Kerry Davis and Xavier James.

Pacquiao’s contract starts with a May 22 bout on HBO, possibly against WBA/IBF champ Juan Manuel Marquez.

Top Rank’s Bob Arum, Marquez’s promoter, said the most likely venue for the fight is Las Vegas or the 27,000-seat, 140-million-dollar Home Depot National Training Center on the campus of California State University.

If Pacquiao beats Marquez, the cable giant plans to pit the Filipino against Erik Morales, according to Fightnews.
