What deal?
Nothing more than a phone call was all the camp of Manny Pacquiao got from the handlers of Juan Manuel Marquez, belying reports that the Filipino ring hero is all set to fight the reigning People?s Champion.
?Wala ?pang final,? said Pacquiao?s business manager Rod Nazario, when asked whether the terms of the fight have been finalized between Pacquiao and the reigning International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight king from Mexico City
?Tumawag lang sila two weeks ago and they were offering something below $1 million. So I told [Marquez?s handlers] that if they can get at least $1 million for Manny, go kami,? added Nazario, who has arranged all five US fights for the rapid-fire featherweight from Mindanao.
Nazario also denied somebody from Team Pacquiao was set to fly to the US on a certain date to sign any contract. But Nazario said that ?if and only if Marquez?s camp can come up with the $1 million, I?ll fly up there in a moment?s notice. They told me kaya nila so let?s all just wait and see.
