The venue is still uncertain. The figures are not too clear. No documents were even signed for his next fight.
But Manny Pacquiao, the most sought-after featherweight boxer in the world, and his manager Rod Nazario came out of a meeting with Home Boxing Office (HBO) in New York with a multifight package deal that guarantees Pacquiao at least $1 million this year.
Joining Pacquiao and Nazario on their side were US promoter Murad Muhammad and M&M executive vice president Ronald Salahuddin. HBO president for sports Ross Greenburg, vice president for sports Kery Davis and vice president for programming Xavier James represented the cable network.
No exact terms of the agreement were disclosed, but according to Muhammad, the Pacquiao package is in the ?seven-figure mark,? which is easily the richest deal accepted by any Filipino in the history of professional sports.
Pacquiao will begin to carry out his side of the bargain when he trades mitts with ?most probable opponent? Juan Manuel Marquez on May 22 either in Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
