MP (Manny Paquiao) Promotions is considering taking under its wings some of the boxers displaced following the unexpected closure of the fabled ALA Boxing of Cebu.
Sean Gibbons, president of the promotional outfit owned by the legendary Manny Pacquiao, said he’ll try to see what he can do to help accommodate and revive the careers of several former ALA boys.
“I am going to see about helping a few,” he said in a short message from Las Vegas.
MP Promotions currently has four reigning Filipino world champions in its stable, namely Pacquiao (World Boxing Association welterweight), Jerwin Ancajas (International Boxing Federation super-flyweight), Johnriel Casimero (World Boxing Organization bantamweight), and Pedro Taduran (IBF mini-flyweight).
Gibbons felt sorry for the decision of the father-and-son tandem of Tony and Michael Aldeguer to shut down the Cebu-based boxing stable after 35 years owing to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of longtime TV partner ABS-CBN.
He described the Aldeguers as ‘good people.’
