WAS PACMAN'S BROD DELIBERATELY LEFT OUT? PhilBoxing.com Fri, 05 Dec 2008 Was there a deliberate effort to replace Rogel Pacquiao at the dais at yesterday's final press conference, to allow a "very popular personage from the Philippines" to be seated in lieu of the president of MP Promotions? The younger Pacquiao, whose name was part of the group that was supposed to join the pound-for-pound king at the dais, said he was not even informed that he would have to be at that table. "They did not even bother to inform me that I was part of that. That's why I arrived at the venue late," said Rogel Pacquiao in an interview yesterday. When it was his turned to be introduced, Arum had to approach Pacquiao as ask for the name of the guy seated next to Wakee Salud, before announcing: "He is a very popular personage from the Philippines. He is Mr. Takison, whatever." Later that day, Arum told a group of mediamen at the media room that Singson was not originally in the line-up of people who would join the presidential table. "He (Singson) should not have been there. Manny's brother should have been on that seat," Arum told the media, referring to Rogel Pacquiao. The incident only highlighted the growing consensus of some media people that Team Pacquiao is a bloated mixture of personalities made up of different agenda. Unfortunately, Singson was caught in the crossfire, and whoever put him in that presidential table in lieu of Rogel Pacquiao definitely has some agenda to perpetuate. In contrast, Team De la Hoya looked every bit lean and mean, each member having a clear set of job description assigned to him.  |
