MANNY Pacquiao is at last ?finalising the terms?? for his superfight with Jeff Horn at Brisbane?s Suncorp Stadium according to his long-term adviser Michael Koncz.
A month after initially abandoning the Brisbane deal to chase a $A49 million purse in the United Arab Emirates, Pacquiao ?looks like? he will proceed with a July 2 fight against the unbeaten Australian, Koncz says.
The Canadian adviser told website Rappler in a text message this morning that the deal ?should be finalised by (the) end of (the) week.?
Pacquiao?s promoter Bob Arum had given the world champ until today to make a decision because the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council ? who are financing the bout ? would not wait indefinitely.
Pacquiao is expected to make more than $A10 million from the defence of his World Boxing Organization welterweight title against the undefeated Horn, who has put his work as a schoolteacher on hold to become the No. 2 contender for the Filipino senator?s belt.
