LOS ANGELES, Calif.? Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao?s adviser has denied reports that the boxer will team up with Charice in a concert in Daly City in California.
Pacquiao has said he is focused on one thing: Juan Manuel Marquez, and has scheduled most of his activities after the fight on November 12.
?Kailangan focused for this fight. Napakahalaga nitong laban na ito kasi siyempre, away natin mapahiya sa ibang bansa (I need to be focused because of course, we don?t want to be embarrassed),? Pacquiao explained.
A concert featuring Pacquiao with Charice, and Kapamilya stars Anne Curtis and Christine Reyes, is being promoted in the San Francisco bay area. But according to Pacquiao, he will not be able to make the show planned for November 15.
?Manny would love to go to San Francisco to participate in the concert. However, time does not permit it because we have conflicts with endorsements that we need to do after the fight,? explained Pacquiao?s adviser Michael Koncz.
Koncz added that the only concert being planned is Pacquiao?s traditional post-fight celebration.
Pacquiao will also appear on the talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live next week. It will be his fifth appearance.
But Pacquiao does plan on making an appearance this Thursday at the San Manuel Casino to support several Filipino fighters.
Pacquiao?s MP Promotions and Top Rank are promoting a fight card which includes Bernabe Concepcion, Rodel Mayol, Richie Mempranum, and Alan Tanada.
?Maraming Filipino maglalaban doon at supportado natin (Many Filipinos will fight there and we support them,? said Pacquiao.
Producers for the Pacquiao-Charice concert say they are aware of Pacquiao?s other commitments and are contacting fans. They are also trying to put a stop to unauthorized posters advertising the concert on the internet.
