Manny Pacquiao is just a signature away from formalizing his million-dollar clash against Juan Manuel Marquez as handlers of both fighters finally struck a deal for the staging of the keenly-awaited bout between two men boasting of some great boxing skills and solid power.
“Murad Muhammad (who promotes Pacquiao) and I made a deal subject to Pacquiao signing off on it and he?s coming into New York to sit down with Murad and the HBO guys,” said Bob Arum, big boss of the controversial Top Rank Promotions Inc., in an interview with Maxboxing.com.
Top Rank is the handler of Marquez, who owns the IBF and WBA 126-lb. titles.
