MURAD’S PRESS AGENT: One of Murad Muhammad’s minions caught the attention of a prominent website with an email he sent everywhere. He claims Manny Pacquiao’s not fighting this year unless it is for embattled promoter Muhammad. Nothing could be further from the truth. If Manny can get medically clear, I could see a judge allowing him to fight sans Murad, with a condition that some monies be put aside should Murad later prevail legally. FILIPINO ICON SLOW TO RESPOND: I want the great Hermie Rivera to write for a Filipino version of “Ring Talk.” One of the most respected Pinoy’s to right boxing, I don’t always agree with the newspaper icon, but man do I want him to be part of this Philippine project..
