Nazario says Pacquiao situation under control

Despite a swirl of controversy threatening to upset International Boxing Federation (IBF) superbantamweight champion Manny Pacquiao?s fistic career, his business manager Rod Nazario told The Star yesterday there is no confusion in the fighter?s camp.

“Magulo raw ang kampo namin,” said Nazario. “But in my mind, the situation is under control. Marami lang tayo nababasa sa dyaryo na haka-haka. Hindi naman totoo.”

Nazario admitted after Pacquiao stopped Marco Antonio Barrera in San Antonio last November, several quarters tried to cash in on the newly crowned people?s world featherweight titlist by offering to take over his US promotional contract from Murad Muhammad of the New Jersey outfit M&M Sports. Even Pacquiao?s trainer Freddie Roach attempted to get a bigger piece of the action, bidding to tie up with Beverly Hills lawyers Keith Davidson and Nicholas Khan as co-managers.
