PACQUIAO TO VACATION IN HONGKONG; RP FIGHT FIRMED UP By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Fri, 03 Mar 2006 Pound-for-pound superstar Manny Pacquiao will fly to Hongkong on Monday with lovely wife Jinkee for a much-needed vacation, before he buckles down to work for his upcoming fight with Oscar "Chololo" Larios. The Pacquiao-Larios 10-round non-title bout will definitely be held in the Philippines, a source close to the situation said, adding that television giant ABS-CBN and the country's top beverage company San Miguel Corporation have already expressed unequivocal support to the event. "The date we're looking at are June 18, 25 or July 2, and it's going to be in the Philippines," said Pacquiao's multi-millionaire business associate Rex "Wakee" Salud, who will co-promote the fight. HBO has reportedly offered Pacquiao a fight purse of $2.1 Million (roughly 109 Million pesos) to face Larios, with the American cable network covering the fight for the American and possibly Latino viewers. Pacquiao, according to his Filipino trainer Buboy Fernandez, had planned to train for the Larios fight at the famed ALA Gym in Cebu owing to its top-of-the-line facilities, although Davao and Baguio are also in the running as venue for Pacquiao's training camp. Slated to see action in the undercard are Randy "Komong Bato" Suico, who is being groomed to face Marco Antonio Barrera if the latter agrees to fight the Filipino dynamite. Also set to see action is RP super-featherweight king Jimrex Jaca, as well as the sensational WBO Asia Pacific bantam king Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista.
